NetworkInsightsPath

Learn how to create, update, and manage AWS EC2 NetworkInsightsPaths using Alchemy Cloud Control.

The NetworkInsightsPath resource allows you to create and manage paths for network insights in AWS EC2, providing visibility into the network route between a source and a destination. For more information, refer to the AWS EC2 NetworkInsightsPaths documentation.

Create a basic Network Insights Path with required properties and one optional tag.

import AWS from "alchemy/aws/control";
const networkInsightsPath = await AWS.EC2.NetworkInsightsPath("basicNetworkInsightsPath", {
Source: "i-0123456789abcdef0", // Example EC2 instance ID as source
Destination: "i-0abcdef1234567890", // Example EC2 instance ID as destination
Protocol: "tcp", // Specify TCP protocol
Tags: [
{
Key: "Environment",
Value: "Production"
}
]
});

Configure a Network Insights Path with additional settings including source and destination IPs, and filtering options.

import AWS from "alchemy/aws/control";
const advancedNetworkInsightsPath = await AWS.EC2.NetworkInsightsPath("advancedNetworkInsightsPath", {
Source: "i-0123456789abcdef0",
Destination: "i-0abcdef1234567890",
Protocol: "udp",
SourceIp: "10.0.0.1", // Example CIDR block for source IP
DestinationIp: "10.0.0.2", // Example CIDR block for destination IP
DestinationPort: 8080, // Common application port
FilterAtSource: {
// Example filter configuration
Protocol: "udp",
Port: 8080
},
FilterAtDestination: {
// Example filter configuration
Protocol: "udp",
Port: 8080
},
Tags: [
{
Key: "Environment",
Value: "Staging"
}
]
});

In this example, we create a Network Insights Path with specific filtering at both the source and destination.

import AWS from "alchemy/aws/control";
const customFilteredNetworkInsightsPath = await AWS.EC2.NetworkInsightsPath("customFilteredNetworkInsightsPath", {
Source: "i-0abcdef1234567890",
Destination: "i-0123456789abcdef0",
Protocol: "icmp", // Using ICMP for ping
FilterAtSource: {
Protocol: "icmp",
Port: null // ICMP does not use ports
},
FilterAtDestination: {
Protocol: "icmp",
Port: null // ICMP does not use ports
}
});

Create a Network Insights Path while adopting an existing resource if it already exists.

import AWS from "alchemy/aws/control";
const adoptedNetworkInsightsPath = await AWS.EC2.NetworkInsightsPath("adoptedNetworkInsightsPath", {
Source: "i-0123456789abcdef0",
Destination: "i-0abcdef1234567890",
Protocol: "tcp",
adopt: true // Adopt existing resource if it exists
});
