2# Amazon CloudWatch Network Flow Monitor: a monitor over the network flows of a workload, fed by
3# lightweight agents installed on the instances. "What is Amazon CloudWatch?" (Network and internet
4# monitoring) says a flow monitor uses information gathered by agents you install on your instances,
5# visualises packet loss and latency for the flows it tracks, and produces a network health indicator
6# saying whether AWS network issues affected those flows in the evaluated period.
