Tencent Cloud NAT Gateway Monitoring Integration

Utilize Site24x7 Tencent Cloud NAT Gateway Monitoring Integration to:

Track inbound and outbound bandwidth and utilization to prevent saturation of NAT capacity.
Monitor connection counts to detect unusual traffic patterns or connection floods.
Observe public traffic volumes for cost management and capacity planning.
Alert on bandwidth utilization thresholds before users experience degraded connectivity.

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

Setup and configuration

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

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

Data collection frequency

Performance metrics of your Tencent Cloud NAT 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.

Supported metrics

Metric name	Description	Unit
Outbound Bandwidth	Rate of data sent out through the NAT Gateway	Mbps
Inbound Bandwidth	Rate of data received through the NAT Gateway	Mbps
Outbound Packets	Number of packets sent out per second	Packets/second
Inbound Packets	Number of packets received per second	Packets/second
Connections	Number of active connections passing through the NAT Gateway	Count
Public Outbound Traffic	Cumulative volume of data sent out over the public network	MB
Public Inbound Traffic	Cumulative volume of data received over the public network	MB
Outbound Bandwidth Utilization	Percentage of outbound bandwidth capacity currently in use	Percent
Inbound Bandwidth Utilization	Percentage of inbound bandwidth capacity currently in use	Percent
Connection Count	Total number of concurrent connections tracked by the NAT Gateway	Count

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

Monitor-level configuration

Go to Cloud > Tencent Cloud > NAT Gateway.

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.
