Operation description

QPS limits

The queries per second (QPS) limit for this API is 10 calls per second for each user. If you exceed the limit, API calls are throttled. This can affect your business. We recommend that you call this API at a reasonable rate.

Try it now

Try this API in OpenAPI Explorer, no manual signing needed. Successful calls auto-generate SDK code matching your parameters. Download it with built-in credential security for local usage.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.

Bps

integer

No

The scrubbing threshold for traffic in Mbps. This value cannot exceed the peak public network traffic of the instance. If you specify Bps, you must also specify Pps. Otherwise, the change does not take effect.

Use the monitoring tools of your instance to query its public network traffic:

100

Pps

integer

No

The scrubbing threshold for packets per second (pps). This value cannot exceed the peak packet traffic of the instance. If you specify Pps, you must also specify Bps. Otherwise, the change does not take effect.

Use the monitoring tools of your instance to query its packet traffic:

70000

IsAuto

boolean

No

Specifies whether to automatically adjust the scrubbing threshold based on the traffic loads of the instance. Valid values:

  • true: The scrubbing threshold is automatically adjusted. You do not need to set the Bps and Pps parameters.

  • false: The scrubbing threshold is not automatically adjusted. You must set the Bps and Pps parameters.

Default value: false

false
