Alibaba Cloud API Gateway

Collect monitoring data for instances, API groups, and APIs in Alibaba Cloud's original API Gateway (Classic).

Product Retirement and Migration¶

According to Alibaba Cloud's official retirement announcement, the original API Gateway will be retired according to the following timeline (Beijing Time, UTC+08):

This integration collects existing resources from the original API Gateway. Before the service is fully discontinued, migrate your workloads to Alibaba Cloud Cloud-native API Gateway, then install the corresponding integration as described in the Alibaba Cloud Cloud-native API Gateway documentation. Installing the integration only configures data collection; it does not migrate cloud resources or workloads.

Configuration¶

Install Func¶

It is recommended to activate the TrueWatch Integration - Extensions - DataFlux Func (Automata)

If deploying Func by yourself, refer to Deploy Func by Yourself

Activate Script¶

Note: Please prepare the Alibaba Cloud AK that meets the requirements in advance (for simplicity, you can directly grant the global read-only permission ReadOnlyAccess)

Automata Activation Script¶

1. Log in to the TrueWatch console
2. Click the 【Integration】 menu and select 【Cloud Account Management】
3. Click 【Add Cloud Account】, select 【Alibaba Cloud】, and fill in the required information on the interface. If you have already configured the cloud account information before, ignore this step
4. Click 【Test】, and if the test is successful, click 【Save】. If the test fails, please check if the relevant configuration information is correct and test again
5. Click 【Cloud Account Management】, and you can see the added cloud account in the list. Click the corresponding cloud account to enter the details page
6. Click the 【Integration】 button on the cloud account details page, find Alibaba Cloud API Gateway under the Not Installed list, and click the 【Install】 button to pop up the installation interface for installation.

Manual Activation Script¶

1. Log in to the Func console, click 【Script Market】, and enter the TrueWatch script market. Search for: integration_alibabacloud_apigateway

2. Click 【Install】, then enter the corresponding parameters: Alibaba Cloud AK ID, AK Secret, and account name.

3. Click 【Deploy Startup Script】, the system will automatically create a Startup script set and configure the corresponding startup script.

4. After enabling, you can see the corresponding automatic trigger configuration in 「Manage / Automatic Trigger Configuration」. Click 【Execute】 to immediately execute once without waiting for the scheduled time. After a while, you can view the execution task records and corresponding logs.

Verification¶

1. In 「Manage / Automatic Trigger Configuration」, confirm whether the corresponding task has the corresponding automatic trigger configuration, and you can also check the corresponding task records and logs for any exceptions.
2. In TrueWatch, check if asset information exists in 「Infrastructure / Custom」.
3. In TrueWatch, check if there is corresponding monitoring data in 「Metrics」.
