Alibaba Cloud CEN

Collect Alibaba Cloud CEN monitoring data

Configuration¶

Install Func¶

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

For self-deploying Func, refer to Self-deploying Func

Install Script¶

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

Log in to the Func console, click 【Script Market】, enter the TrueWatch Script Market, and search for: integration_alibabacloud_cen
Click 【Install】, then enter the corresponding parameters: Alibaba Cloud AK ID, AK Secret, and account name.
Click 【Deploy Startup Script】, the system will automatically create the Startup script set and configure the corresponding startup scripts.
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 check the execution task records and corresponding logs.

Verification¶

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