To create a path

The following create-network-insights-path example creates a path. The source is the specified internet gateway and the destination is the specified EC2 instance. To determine whether the destination is reachable using the specified protocol and port, analyze the path using the start-network-insights-analysis command.

aws ec2 create-network-insights-path --source igw-0797cccdc9d73b0e5 --destination i-0495d385ad28331c7 --destination-port 22 --protocol TCP

Identify

--sourceThe ID or ARN of the source.

--destinationThe ID or ARN of the destination.

--destination-portThe destination port.

--protocolThe protocol.
