Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon OpenSearch Service launch pre-built dashboard for AWS Network Firewall

AWS announces a new AWS Network Firewall dashboard that enhances the integrated analytics experience between Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon OpenSearch Service. This expands the existing set of pre-built dashboards that include Amazon VPC, AWS CloudTrail, and AWS WAF logs. The dashboard delivers insights into network metrics, including traffic patterns, protocols, AWS PrivateLink endpoints, and TLS Server Name Indication (SNI) traffic.

The AWS Network Firewall dashboard helps security teams strengthen their troubleshooting capabilities by enabling them to monitor and analyze AWS Network Firewall logs alongside other AWS service logs in CloudWatch. Security administrators can quickly identify unusual network activity, monitor private network connections, and evaluate TLS policy effectiveness to optimize their network security configurations. Customers can create the AWS Network Firewall dashboard in CloudWatch Logs Insights or in the OpenSearch Service console.

The new dashboard is now available in the regions where OpenSearch Service direct query is available. Please read pricing and free tier details on Amazon CloudWatch Pricing, and OpenSearch Service Pricing.

To get started, visit the Amazon CloudWatch Logs documentation for analyzing with OpenSearch or the Amazon OpenSearch Service Developer Guide. For more information about AWS Network Firewall, visit the AWS Network Firewall product page.
