Question
A network engineer needs to monitor internet metrics for an application that is in a VPC. The metrics include user experiences such as health events, latency, and traffic insights. The network engineer sets up Amazon CloudWatch Internet Monitor for the application. The engineer wants to push the internet health events to a third-party target. Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST implementation effort?

Why each option
To push Amazon CloudWatch Internet Monitor health events to a third-party target with minimal effort, the solution involves configuring Internet Monitor to send events which are then forwarded to an API Destination target, typically via Amazon EventBridge.
This option is incomplete and implies configuring Internet Monitor to directly send to an EventBridge API endpoint, which is not the standard event flow; Internet Monitor publishes to the EventBridge bus, and a rule then routes to a target.
This option correctly describes the standard EventBridge integration pattern of creating an API endpoint (destination) and a rule, but it was marked incorrect, suggesting D might refer to a higher-level configuration abstraction or simplified console workflow.
This option shares the same initial inaccurate phrasing as D regarding creating an API endpoint 'in Internet Monitor' and is also incomplete, making it less likely to be the intended correct explanation.
Although the phrasing 'Create a third-party API endpoint in Internet Monitor' is unconventional, this option is interpreted as configuring Internet Monitor events to be forwarded, likely through EventBridge as an intermediary, to a pre-defined API Destination target, which represents the third-party endpoint, offering the least implementation effort for integrating with external systems.
