CloudWatch - Network Monitor (Deactivating Probes)

Question

Request: Deletion of Network Monitors

Problem: I deactivated the Network Monitor Probes yesterday, but it still indicates that the deactivation process is ongoing. Can you please provide an estimate of the time it takes to complete the deactivation of the probes?

Accepted Answer

The deactivation time for AWS CloudWatch Network Insights can vary based on several factors, such as the number of probes and the network complexity. AWS does not provide specific estimates for the deactivation process.
However, the deactivation of probes should generally happen in a reasonable time frame. If you are experiencing prolonged delays or if the status continues to show that the deactivation process is ongoing, you may want to consider the following  this steps from AWS :- https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/nw-monitor-probe-delete.html

If the deactivation is taking longer than expected, consider reaching out to AWS Support for assistance. They can investigate and provide guidance based on the specific details of your network configuration and probe deactivation

Hope it clarifies and if does I would appreciate answer to be accepted so that community can benefit for clarity, thanks ;)

Answer

Thank you for your response. I've already reviewed the option mentioned for handling the probe via the console, and it indicates that the probe is in a pending state, preventing deletion. Could you please guide me on how to delete a probe using the command line or API?

Answer

I tried running via CLI but it shows same reason.

aws networkmonitor delete-probe --monitor-name --probe-id

An error occurred (ValidationException) when calling the DeleteProbe operation: Probe must not be in pending state before deletion.
