Amazon Lightsail Load Balancer Monitoring Integration
Amazon Lightsail Load Balancer lets you build high-availability apps that are scalable and has tailored API and CLI. Lightsail Load Balancer provides you with bundled resources that comes with a monthly pricing model.
With Site24x7's integration, enable health checking of your Lightsail load balancers used for high-availability architectures with a single instance or a multi-tier instance.
Setup and configuration
1. If you haven't already, enable access to your AWS resources between your AWS account and Site24x7's AWS account by either:
- Creating Site24x7 as an IAM user.
- Creating a cross-account IAM role. Learn more
2. On the Integrate AWS Account page, check the box next to Lightsail Load Balancer. Learn more

| Unhealthy Host Count | The number of target instances that are considered unhealthy. | Maximum | Count |
| HTTP4xx - Loadbalancer | The number of HTTP 4XX client error codes that originate from the load balancer.This count does not include any response codes generated by the target instances. | Sum | Count |
| HTTP5xx - Loadbalancer | The number of HTTP 5XX client error codes that originate from the load balancer.This count does not include any response codes generated by the target instances. | Sum | Count |
