CloudMonitor:Manage metrics of Alibaba Cloud services

Background information

After tags are added to resources of Alibaba Cloud services, you can wait up to 1 hour to view the tags in the Hybrid Cloud Monitoring console. However, the resource tags that are displayed in the Hybrid Cloud Monitoring console are different from the original resource tags. To comply with the Prometheus protocol, Hybrid Cloud Monitoring changes invalid tags based on the following rules:

• If a tag does not start with [a-zA-Z_], the beginning of the tag is changed to f_. For example, if an original resource tag is 66, the tag is changed to f_66.

• If a tag does not meet the [a-zA-Z0-9_] condition (the tag contains special characters), the special character is changed to an underscore (_). For example, if an original resource tag is test.6, the tag is changed to test_6.

• If a tag starts with two or more underscores (_), an unexpected error may occur. Examples: __my_key__ and ___my_key___.

For tags that comply with the Prometheus protocol, the tag_ prefix is directly added. For tags that do not comply with the Prometheus protocol, the tag_ prefix is added after the tags are changed based on the preceding rules. For example, if an original resource tag is test.6, the tag is changed to tag_test_6.
