# MonitorRemoteResource
<a name="API_MonitorRemoteResource"></a>

A remote resource is the other endpoint in a network flow. That is, one endpoint is the local resource and the other is the remote resource. The values you can specify are the following:
+ For a VPC or subnet, this identifier is the VPC Amazon Resource Name (ARN) or subnet ARN.
+ For a service, this identifier is one of the following strings: `S3` or `DynamoDB`.
+ For an Availability Zone, this identifier is the AZ name, for example, us-west-2b.
+ For a Region, this identifier is the Region name, for example, us-west-2.

When a remote resource is an AWS Region, Network Flow Monitor provides network performance measurements up to the edge of the Region that you specify.
