Alibaba Cloud SLB Metrics display, including backend ECS instance status, port connection count, QPS, network traffic, status codes, etc.

Configuration¶

Install Func¶

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

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

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¶

Log in to the TrueWatch console
Click the 【Integration】 menu, select 【Cloud Account Management】
Click 【Add Cloud Account】, select 【Alibaba Cloud】, and fill in the required information on the interface. If the cloud account information has been configured before, ignore this step
Click 【Test】, and click 【Save】 after the test is successful. If the test fails, please check whether the relevant configuration information is correct and test again
Click 【Cloud Account Management】 list to see the added cloud account, click the corresponding cloud account to enter the details page
Click the 【Integration】 button on the cloud account details page, find Alibaba Cloud SLB under the Not Installed list, and click the 【Install】 button to pop up the installation interface and install it.

Manual Activation Script¶

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