Alibaba Cloud NAT¶

Alibaba Cloud NAT Metrics display, including concurrent connections, new connections, VPC traffic, VPC packets, etc.

Configuration¶

Install Func¶

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

If you want to deploy Func by yourself, refer to Deploy Func by Yourself

Activate Script¶

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

Activate Script for Automata¶

Log in to the TrueWatch console
Click the 【Integration】 menu and select 【Cloud Account Management】
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, ignore this step
Click 【Test】, and after the test is successful, click 【Save】. If the test fails, please check whether the relevant configuration information is correct and test again
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
Click the 【Integration】 button on the cloud account details page, find Alibaba Cloud NAT under the Not Installed list, and click the 【Install】 button to install it.

Activate Script Manually¶

Log in to the Func console, click 【Script Market】, enter the TrueWatch script market, and search for: integration_alibabacloud_nat
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 a Startup script set and configure the corresponding startup script.
After activation, you can see the corresponding automatic trigger configuration in 「Manage / Automatic Trigger Configuration」. Click 【Execute】 to execute it immediately without waiting for the scheduled time. Wait a moment, and you can view the execution task records and corresponding logs.

We have collected some configurations by default, see the Metrics section for details.

Configure Custom Cloud Object Metrics

Verification¶

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

Metrics¶

After configuring Alibaba Cloud CloudMonitor, the default Measurement is as follows. You can collect more Metrics through configuration Alibaba Cloud CloudMonitor Metrics Details
