Create a Monitoring Session (AWS)
GigaVUE‑FM automatically collects inventory data on all target instances available in your cloud environment. You can design your monitoring session to include or exclude the instances that you want to monitor. You can also choose to monitor egress, ingress, or all traffic.
When a new target instance is added to your cloud environment, GigaVUE‑FM automatically detects and adds the instance to your monitoring session. Similarly, when an instance is removed, it updates the monitoring sessions.
For the connections without UCT-Vs, there are no targets that are automatically selected. You can use Customer Orchestrated Source in the monitoring session to accept a tunnel from anywhere.
You can create multiple monitoring sessions per monitoring domain.
To create a new monitoring session:
- Go to Traffic > Virtual > Orchestrated Flows and select your cloud platform. The Monitoring Sessions page appears.
- Click New to open the Create a New Monitoring Session page.
- Enter the appropriate information for the monitoring session as described in the following table.
Field
Description
Alias
The name of the monitoring session.
Monitoring Domain

Connection
The connection(s) that are to be included as part of the monitoring domain. You can select the required connections that need to be part of the monitoring domain.
Distribute traffic
Enabling the "Distribute Traffic" option identifies duplicate packets across different GigaVUE V Series Nodes when traffic from various targets is routed to these instances for monitoring.
- Click Create. The Edit Monitoring Session Canvas page appears.
