Cloud Account Management¶

In the course of operations, enterprises often need to use multiple cloud service accounts to meet different business needs. However, when these cloud services experience failures, a decentralized management approach may lead to inefficiency and increase operational costs for the enterprise.

"The Cloud Account Management feature" consolidates all of an enterprise's cloud service accounts for unified management, distinguishing them through the uniqueness of certain configurations under each account. By configuring integrated collectors, independent management is performed for the cloud services under each account, thereby achieving fine-grained control over business data.

This management method not only simplifies the enterprise's cloud service management process but also helps quickly locate and resolve service failures, significantly reducing management costs and improving fault response speed.

Add Authorization¶

Currently, authorization is supported for the following types of cloud accounts.

AWS
Alibaba Cloud
Huawei Cloud

Manage Authorization¶

Successfully created cloud accounts will be displayed on the Integration > Cloud Account Management page. You can perform the following actions:

• Quickly filter by type in the top-right corner;
• Directly input the alias of the cloud account in the search bar to locate it;
• Perform deletion directly via the settings button;
• Click to enter a specific account information to edit again.

Configure Integration¶

After successfully creating a cloud account, authorization to Guance is completed. You can install integrations as needed under that account to start data collection.

Configuration in Cloud Account Information¶

Click the Install button on the right side to enter the automatic installation page:

1. The cloud account is automatically filled in;
2. Select the applicable region type as needed;
3. The system will automatically identify the metrics included in the current integration script, which you can modify as needed;
4. The filter currently supports = and in operations;
5. After successful installation, continue with script installation.

Direct Configuration on the Integration Side¶

2. Click to add a cloud account;
3. Select other cloud accounts that need configuration and configure regions, metrics, and filters;
4. Click Install, and the cloud account will be updated with the latest configuration.

Delete/Uninstall Integration¶

• On the cloud account management list page, click the settings icon to delete the cloud account. After deletion, data collection for all configurations under this cloud account will stop, but previously collected data will remain unaffected;

• In the integration tab of the cloud account details page, clicking the Uninstall button will stop data collection for specific integrations, but it won't affect the already collected data;

• After clicking Uninstall from the integration side, all AWS cloud accounts will stop collecting data for that integration. If you only want to stop data collection for a specific cloud account, you can do so in the cloud account configuration.
