Tencent Cloud EIP Monitoring Integration

Utilize Site24x7 Tencent Cloud EIP Monitoring Integration to:

Track inbound and outbound bandwidth and packet rates on public IP addresses.
Monitor connection counts to detect abnormal traffic patterns or potential abuse.
Observe cumulative outbound traffic volumes for billing and capacity awareness.
Alert on bandwidth thresholds to prevent EIP bandwidth limits from being exceeded.

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

Setup and configuration

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

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 EIP from the Services/Resources drop-down and click Save.
After successful configuration, go to Cloud > Tencent Cloud > EIP. Now you can view the discovered resources.
