Tencent Cloud Anti-DDoS Monitoring Integration

Utilize Site24x7 Tencent Cloud Anti-DDoS Monitoring Integration to:

Track inbound and outbound traffic and packet volumes to establish normal baselines.
Monitor dropped packets and dropped traffic to detect active DDoS mitigation activity.
Receive early alerts when traffic anomalies indicate an ongoing attack.
Correlate traffic drops with attack events for post-incident analysis and reporting.

This help document contains instructions to set up Tencent Cloud Anti-DDoS Monitoring Integration and related information.

Setup and configuration

During your Tencent Cloud monitor setup, if you have selected Anti-DDoS in the Services/Resources drop-down, all your Anti-DDoS resources will be auto-detected and monitored without the need to manually create a monitor for each resource.

If you haven't selected Anti-DDoS during Tencent Cloud monitor creation, follow these instructions:

Log in to your Site24x7 account.
Go to Cloud > Tencent Cloud, select your Tencent Cloud monitor, then go to any of the dashboards on the left pane.
Click the hamburger icon and select Edit, which brings you to the Edit Tencent Cloud Monitor page.
On the Edit Tencent Cloud Monitor page, select Anti-DDoS from the Services/Resources drop-down and click Save.
After successful configuration, go to Cloud > Tencent Cloud > Anti-DDoS. Now you can view the discovered resources.

Data collection frequency

Performance metrics of your Tencent Cloud Anti-DDoS resources will be collected every five minutes and updated in the Site24x7 portal every five minutes by default; metrics are also collected based on the selected poll interval.

Supported metrics

Metric name	Description	Unit
Dropped Packets	Number of packets dropped by the Anti-DDoS mitigation system per second	Packets/second
Dropped Traffic	Volume of traffic discarded by the mitigation system per second	Mbps
Inbound Bandwidth	Total inbound bandwidth reaching the protected resource before filtering	Mbps
Inbound Packets	Total number of inbound packets per second before DDoS filtering	Packets/second
Inbound Traffic	Total volume of inbound data per second before filtering	Mbps
Outbound Bandwidth	Total outbound bandwidth from the protected resource	Mbps
Outbound Packets	Number of outbound packets per second from the protected resource	Packets/second
Outbound Traffic	Total volume of outbound data per second from the protected resource	Mbps

Threshold configuration

Global configuration

Go to the Admin section in the left navigation pane.
Select Configuration Profiles from the left pane and choose the Threshold and Availability (+) tab from the drop-down menu. Click Add Threshold Profile from the top-right corner.
Set the monitor type as Tencent Cloud Anti-DDoS. Now you can set the threshold values for all the metrics mentioned above.

Monitor-level configuration

Go to Cloud > Tencent Cloud > Anti-DDoS.
Choose a resource for which you would like to set a threshold, then click the hamburger icon . Select Edit, which directs you to the Edit Tencent Cloud Anti-DDoS Monitor page.
You can set the threshold values for the metrics by selecting Threshold and Availability. You can also configure IT Automation at the attribute level.

IT Automation

Site24x7's IT Automation tools help with automatically resolving performance degradation issues. When a breach occurs, the alarm engine continuously examines the system events for which thresholds have been defined and performs the mapped automation.
