AWS Client VPN metrics

Once you’ve integrated with AWS CloudWatch, you have access to metrics from AWS Client VPN, which is a managed client-based VPN service that gives you secure access to your on-premises network and AWS resources. With Client VPN, you can use an OpenVPN-based VPN client to access your resources from any location.

See all AWS integrations.
