This topic describes how to use CloudMonitor to monitor transit routers. You can create threshold-triggered alert rules to be notified of anomalies in data transmission over transit routers.

Limits

Only Enterprise Edition transit routers support monitoring.

View the monitoring data of a transit router

  1. Log on to the CEN console.
  2. On the Instances page, find the CEN instance that you want to manage and click the instance ID.
  3. On the Basic Settings > Transit Router tab, find the transit router that you want to view and click the Monitoring icon in the Actions column.
  4. In the Monitoring panel, view the monitoring data of the transit router.
    • By default, the monitoring data of the last hour is displayed. Each data point represents the average value within the minute.

      You can select 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or a custom time range on the top of the Charts tab to view the monitoring data collected within the specified time range. You can also modify the Interval parameter to collect the average within every 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, or 1 day.

    • The monitoring data is dynamically updated.

      On the top of the Charts tab, turn on Auto Refresh to enable the system to automatically update monitoring data every minute.

    MetricDescription
    Inbound Data Transfer RateThe data transfer rate from the network instance to the transit router. Unit: bit/s.
    Outbound Data Transfer RateThe data transfer rate from the transit router to the network instance. Unit: bit/s.
    Inbound Packet RateThe packet forwarding rate from the network instance to the transit router. Unit: packets per second (pps).
    Outbound Packet RateThe packet forwarding rate from the transit router to the network instance. Unit: pps.
    Inbound BytesThe byte transfer rate from the network instance to the transit router. Unit: bytes.
    Outbound BytesThe byte transfer rate from the transit router to the network instance. Unit: bytes.
    Inbound PacketsThe number of packets that the transit router receives from the network instance. Unit: packets.
    Outbound PacketsThe number of packets that the transit router sends to the network instance. Unit: packets.
    Note You can also navigate to the Charts tab to view the monitoring data of the transit router. For more information, see View the monitoring data of transit routers.

Create a threshold-triggered alert rule for a transit router

  1. Log on to the CEN console.
  2. On the Instances page, find the CEN instance that you want to manage and click the instance ID.
  3. On the Basic Settings > Transit Router tab, find the transit router that you want to manage and click Set Alarm in the Actions column.
  4. In the Add Rule Description panel, set the following parameters and click OK.
    The following table describes the parameters that are relevant to this topic. For more information about the other parameters, see Create an alert rule.
    ParameterDescription
    Rule nameEnter a name for the alert rule.
    Metric TypeSelect a metric type for the alert rule. Single Metric is selected in this example. For more information, see Create an alert template.
    • Single Metric
    • Multiple Metrics
    • Dynamic Threshold
    MetricSelect a metric.

    For more information about the metrics of transit routers, see View the monitoring data of a transit router.

    Threshold and Alert LevelEnter the conditions, threshold, and alert level of the alert rule.
    Chart PreviewThe monitoring data of the selected metric is displayed in the chart.
  5. On the Create Alert Rule page, verify that the parameter settings can meet your business requirements and click OK. If the parameter settings cannot meet your business requirement, modify them as needed.
