Huawei Cloud ELB

Collect Huawei Cloud ELB monitoring metrics

Configuration¶

Install Func¶

It is recommended to activate the TrueWatch integration - Extensions - DataFlux Func (Automata): all prerequisites are automatically installed, please proceed with the script installation.

If you are deploying Func manually, refer to Manual Func Deployment

Install Script¶

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

Log in to the Func console, click 【Script Market】, enter the TrueWatch script market, and search for ID：integration_huaweicloud_elb
Click 【Install】, then enter the corresponding parameters: Huawei Cloud AK, SK, and account name
Click 【Deploy Startup Script】, the system will automatically create the Startup script set and configure the corresponding startup script
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 short while, you can view 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 task records and logs for any exceptions
In TrueWatch, 「Infrastructure - Resource Catalog」, check if the asset information exists
In TrueWatch, 「Metrics」, check if there is corresponding monitoring data
