Huawei Cloud ECS

Collect Huawei Cloud ECS monitoring Metrics

Configuration¶

Install Func¶

It is recommended to enable the Guance integration - extension - DataFlux Func (Automata): all prerequisites are automatically installed, please continue with the script installation.

If you deploy Func on your own, refer to Self-deployed Func

Install Script¶

Note: Please prepare a Huawei Cloud AK that meets the requirements in advance (for simplicity, you can directly grant global read-only permission ReadOnlyAccess)

To synchronize Huawei Cloud ECS monitoring data, we install the corresponding collection script: "Guance Integration (Huawei Cloud-ECS Collection)" (ID: guance_huaweicloud_ecs)

After clicking 【Install】, enter the corresponding parameters: Huawei Cloud AK and Huawei Cloud account name.

Click 【Deploy Startup Script】, and the system will automatically create a Startup script set and automatically configure the corresponding startup script.

After the script is installed, find the script "Guance Integration (Huawei Cloud-ECS Collection)" under "Development" in Func, unfold and modify this script. Find collector_configs and monitor_configs respectively and edit the content of region_projects. Change the region and Project ID to the actual region and Project ID, then click Save and Publish.

In addition, you can see the corresponding automatic trigger configuration under "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¶

1. In "Manage / Automatic Trigger Configuration", confirm whether the corresponding task has the corresponding automatic trigger configuration, and you can also check the corresponding task records and logs for any abnormalities.
2. On the Guance platform, under "Infrastructure - Resource Catalog", check if there is asset information.
3. On the Guance platform, under "Metrics", check if there are corresponding monitoring data.
