Tencent Cloud API Gateway Monitoring Integration

Utilize Site24x7 Tencent Cloud API Gateway Monitoring Integration to:

Track request volumes and service availability to ensure APIs are responding correctly.
Monitor 4xx and 5xx error counts to detect configuration issues or back-end failures.
Observe inbound and outbound traffic and concurrent connections for capacity planning.
Alert on availability drops before downstream services are affected.

This help document contains instructions to set up Tencent Cloud API Gateway Monitoring Integration and related information.

Setup and configuration

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

If you haven't selected API Gateway 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 API Gateway from the Services/Resources drop-down and click Save.
After successful configuration, go to Cloud > Tencent Cloud > API Gateway. Now you can view the discovered resources.

Data collection frequency

Performance metrics of your Tencent Cloud API Gateway 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.

Service Availability	Percentage of time the API Gateway service was available and responding to requests	Percent
Concurrent Connections	Number of simultaneous connections being handled by the API Gateway	Count
Inbound Traffic	Volume of data received by the API Gateway from clients per second	Bytes/second
Number of Requests	Total number of API requests received per second	Requests/second
Outbound Traffic	Volume of data sent from the API Gateway to clients per second	Bytes/second

5xx Error Count	Number of responses with 5xx server error status codes per second	Errors/second

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 API Gateway. Now you can set the threshold values for all the metrics mentioned above.

Monitor-level configuration

Go to Cloud > Tencent Cloud > API Gateway.
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 API Gateway 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.
