Summary

Updated references from 'ELB' to 'Elastic Load Balancing' for consistency and corrected pricing documentation links.

Security assessment

The changes are purely branding/naming updates and link corrections. No security vulnerabilities, configurations, or features are addressed. The existing note about security groups not capturing rejected traffic remains unchanged.

-ELB publishes data points to Amazon CloudWatch for your load balancers and your targets. CloudWatch enables you to retrieve statistics about those data points as an ordered set of time-series data, known as _metrics_. Think of a metric as a variable to monitor, and the data points as the values of that variable over time. For example, you can monitor the total number of healthy targets for a load balancer over a specified time period. Each data point has an associated time stamp and an optional unit of measurement.

-ELB reports metrics to CloudWatch only when requests are flowing through the load balancer. If there are requests flowing through the load balancer, ELB measures and sends its metrics in 60-second intervals. If there are no requests flowing through the load balancer or no data for a metric, the metric is not reported. For Network Load Balancers with security groups, traffic rejected by the security groups is not captured in the CloudWatch metrics.

-CloudWatch provides statistics based on the metric data points published by ELB. Statistics are metric data aggregations over specified period of time. When you request statistics, the returned data stream is identified by the metric name and dimension. A dimension is a name/value pair that uniquely identifies a metric. For example, you can request statistics for all the healthy EC2 instances behind a load balancer launched in a specific Availability Zone.
