For a much easier and more efficient way to collect and send metrics, consider using the Logz.io telemetry collector).
Deploy this integration to send your Amazon VPN metrics to Logz.io.
This integration creates a Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream that links to your Amazon VPN metrics stream and then sends the metrics to your Logz.io account. It also creates a Lambda function that adds AWS namespaces to the metric stream, and a Lambda function that collects and ships the resources’ tags.
Log in to your Logz.io account and navigate to the current instructions page inside the Logz.io app. Install the pre-built dashboard to enhance the observability of your metrics.
To view the metrics on the main dashboard, log in to your Logz.io Metrics account, and open the Logz.io Metrics tab.
