The Overview page displays four panels for common features: Beginner's Wizard, Access Data, Status Code, and Billing Method.
Beginner's Wizard
This module is automatically hidden if you have more than 30 domain names.
Domain name dashboard
This section displays the total number of domain names in your account and the number of domain names in each of the following three states: Enabled, Disabled, and Configuring.
Enabled domain names
For all domain names in the Enabled state, this section shows the number of domain names that are Not Configured or Configured for the following items: CNAME, Cache Expiration Time, and SSL Certificate. When you hover over a number, the domain names for that configuration state are displayed.
Configuration item | Required | Description |
CNAME | Required | A canonical name (CNAME) is a type of DNS record. It is required to ensure that your accelerated domain name works correctly with Alibaba Cloud CDN. |
Cache Expiration Time | Recommended | The cache expiration time or time-to-live (TTL) specifies how long resources from your origin server are cached on Alibaba Cloud CDN points of presence (POPs). When the TTL expires, the POP marks the resource as invalid. Setting a proper TTL improves the cache hit ratio and user experience. |
SSL Certificate | Recommended | An SSL Certificate encrypts data between clients and Alibaba Cloud CDN POPs. This allows your accelerated domain name to be accessed over the HTTPS protocol. |
Access data
This module displays statistics for Bandwidth, Traffic, and the number of Requests for all accelerated domain names in your account. You can view data for different time ranges, such as Today, Yesterday, and Last 7 Days.
Click the > button for a time range to navigate to the Usage Query page. On this page, you can query data for a single accelerated domain name or view more detailed access data for a custom time range.
Status codes
This module displays statistics for the HTTP status codes returned to clients for different time ranges, such as Today, Yesterday, and Last 7 Days. The statistics include the number and percentage of 2xx Success, 4xx Client Error, and 5xx Server Error responses.
For example, the percentage of 4xx Client Error edge responses is the number of 4xx Client Error edge responses divided by the total number of edge responses.
Click the > button for a time range to navigate to the Resource Monitoring page. On this page, you can query data for a single accelerated domain name or view more detailed HTTP status code data for a custom time range.
2xx Success - Edge Response: This response indicates that the POP successfully processed the request from the client and returned the requested resource or a confirmation.
4xx Client Error - Edge Response: This response indicates that the POP cannot process the request from the client because the request is invalid. For example, the client may have insufficient permissions. You can modify the client request and try again.
4xx Client Error - Origin Fetch Response: This response indicates that the origin server cannot process the origin fetch request from the POP because the request is invalid. For example, the requested resource does not exist. You can modify the client request or adjust the accelerated domain name configuration, and then try again.
5xx Server Error - Edge Response: This response indicates that an internal error occurred on the POP while it was processing a client request. For example, the POP may be overloaded. You can check your origin server configuration, such as its network settings.
5xx Server Error - Origin Fetch Response: This response indicates that an internal error occurred on the origin server when the POP attempted to fetch a resource. For example, the origin server may be overloaded. You can check your origin server configuration, such as its server load.
Metering methods
Metering methods
This module displays the billing methods for your account's Alibaba Cloud CDN basic services billing (Traffic) and HTTPS requests for static content.
Basic services (Traffic) use the pay-by-data-transfer billing method by default. To change the billing method, click the Change button to change the billing method. The billing method for HTTPS Requests for Static Content is pay-by-data-transfer hourly and cannot be changed.
Resource plan information
Detailed usage information for resource plans is displayed only when the billing method for basic services (Traffic) is Pay-by-data-transfer.
If the billing method for basic services (Traffic) is not Pay-by-data-transfer, resource plans are not used to offset data transfer, even if you have purchased them. In this case, fees are deducted from your account balance. For more information, see Why am I charged or have an overdue payment after I purchased a resource plan?
This module displays information about your purchased CDN resource plans that are valid and have a remaining quota greater than 0.
Item | Description | Example |
Resource Plan Type | Outbound data transfer (GB), . | |
Acceleration Region | The acceleration regions where the outbound data transfer plan can be used. | Global (the Chinese mainland), Asia Pacific 1, Asia Pacific 2, Asia Pacific 3, North America, Europe, Middle East/Africa, South America. |
Usage This Month | The amount of the resource plan used in the current month. |
|
Deductible | Number of resource plans |
