A network engineer configured Amazon CloudWatch Internet Monitor for a VPC-hosted application to collect internet health, latency, and traffic insights. The engineer wants to forward Internet Monitor health events to a third-party endpoint with minimal implementation work. Which approach meets this requirement with the least effort?

Correct answer: Create a third-party API endpoint in Amazon EventBridge. Create a rule in EventBridge that uses Internet Monitor as the source and the third-party API endpoint in EventBridge as the destination..
Why this is the answer
The correct approach leverages Amazon EventBridge as a central event bus. Internet Monitor publishes its health events to EventBridge. By creating a rule in EventBridge, you can specify Internet Monitor as the event source and then define a target for these events. EventBridge supports API destinations, which allow you to configure a third-party API endpoint. This method is efficient because EventBridge handles the routing and delivery of events, requiring minimal custom code or complex integrations. The first incorrect option is incomplete; you need a rule to route events from Internet Monitor to the API endpoint. The third and fourth incorrect options are based on a misunderstanding of Internet Monitor's capabilities; Internet Monitor does not directly support configuring third-party API endpoints as destinations or sending events to S3 for this purpose.
