# How to Monitor a VPC Network

Monitoring a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network enables the management and verification of the network information. You can view attached instances and subnet information by monitoring a VPC network.

Follow this guide to monitor VPC networks using the Vultr Console, API, or CLI.

=== "Vultr Console"

    1. Navigate to **Products**, expand the **Network** drop-down and select **VPC Networks** from the list of options.
    1. Select your target VPC network to open its management page.
    1. Click **Add Routes** to create new static routes in your network, or click **Edit Routes** to modify the existing route information.

=== "Vultr API"

    1. Send a `GET` request to the [**List VPCs** endpoint](https://www.vultr.com/api/#tag/VPCs/operation/list-vpcs) to view all VPC networks in your Vultr account and note the target VPC network ID.

        ```console
        $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/vpcs" \
           -X GET \
           -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"
        ```

    1. Send a `GET` request to the [**Get a VPC** endpoint](https://www.vultr.com/api/#tag/VPCs/operation/get-vpc) to view information about the target VPC network.

        ```console
        $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/vpcs/{vpc-id}" \
           -X GET \
           -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"
        ```

=== "Vultr CLI"

    1. List all VPC networks in your Vultr account and note the target VPC network's ID.

        ```console
        $ vultr-cli vpc list
        ```

    1. Get information about the VPC network.

        ```console
        $ vultr-cli vpc get <vpc-id>
        ```
