By default, instances that you launch into an Amazon VPC cannot communicate with your own (remote) network. You can enable access to your remote network from your VPC by creating an AWS Site-to-Site VPN (Site-to-Site VPN) connection and configuring routing to pass traffic through the connection.

Use OpsRamp AWS Public Cloud Integration to discover and collect metrics against AWS VPN.

  2. Create a discovery profile. For more information on discovery profiles, refer to Create Discovery Profile.

  3. Select VPN in the AWS Integration Discovery Profile.

  5. Scan to discover the resources at any time independent of the predefined schedule.
