Launch Amazon CloudWatch Internet Monitor from Amazon CloudFront console

You can now create or associate a monitor for a distribution directly from the Amazon CloudFront console. By adding your distribution to a monitor, you can gain improved visibility into your application's internet performance and availability using Amazon CloudWatch Internet Monitor. You can create a monitor for the distribution, or add the distribution to an existing monitor, directly from the distribution metrics dashboard on the CloudFront console. With a monitor, you can get detailed metrics about your application's internet traffic that goes through the distribution, with the ability to drill down into specific locations and internet service providers (ISPs). You also get health event alerts for internet issues that affect your application customers, and can review specific recommendations for improving the internet performance and availability for your application. After you create a monitor, you can customize it at any time by visiting the Internet Monitor console in Amazon CloudWatch. To learn more about how you can use and customize a monitor, see the Internet Monitor [user guide documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/CloudWatch-IM-get-started.cf-monitor.html).
