Alerts for multiplexes
The following table lists the alerts that MediaLive might generate for a multiplex. You can view these alerts in these ways:
-
You can view the alerts for each multiplex on the MediaLive console. For more information, see Alerts tab – Viewing alerts.
-
You use your preferred AWS SDK or API to monitor alerts about multiplex activity. For more information, see Monitoring alerts using the AWS SDKs or API.
-
MediaLive turns alerts into CloudWatch events with the detailType set to
