Tencent Cloud CLB Monitoring Integration

Utilize Site24x7 Tencent Cloud CLB Monitoring Integration to:

Track active and new connections to understand traffic load on your load balancer.
Monitor HTTP response code distribution to detect error spikes at a glance.
Measure average and maximum request and response latencies to identify bottlenecks.
Observe inbound and outbound traffic and packet rates for capacity planning.

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

Setup and configuration

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

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

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

Monitor-level configuration
