CloudWatch - How can we monitor the health of a stream?

Question

Hello Aws gurus, 
Quick question for the community, we use IVS for livestreaming and recently a few live have been a bit choppy. We would like to find out if the issue is coming from us or if it is the incoming stream that is not of great quality. Is there a recommendation on how to find this out ? Maybe using cloudwatch somehow? 
thanks for your help

Answer

Amazon IVS provides status to CloudWatch EventBridge.
You may want to review the following links.

You may want to look at metrics like Stream State Changes, Failures, Starvation, etc.
