Queries the details about the DDoS attack events that occur on an asset. The asset can be an elastic IP address (EIP). The asset can also be an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance or Server Load Balancer (SLB) instance that is assigned a public IP address.

Usage notes

You can call the DescribeDdosEventList operation to query the details about the DDoS attack events that occur on an asset by page. The details include the start time, end time, and status of each DDoS attack event.

Limits

You can call this operation up to 10 times per second per account. If the number of the calls per second exceeds the limit, throttling is triggered. As a result, your business may be affected. We recommend that you take note of the limit when you call this operation.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.

Request parameters

Parameter Type Required Example Description
Action String Yes DescribeDdosEventList

The operation that you want to perform. Set the value to DescribeDdosEventList.

DdosRegionId String Yes cn-hangzhou

The region ID of the asset to query.

Note You can call the DescribeRegions operation to query the most recent region list.
InstanceType String Yes ecs

The type of the asset to query. Valid values:

  • ecs: ECS instance
  • slb: SLB instance
  • eip: EIP
InstanceId String Yes i-bp10bclrt56fblts****

DdosEventList Array of DdosEvent

The list of DDoS attack events.

DdosEvent
DdosType String blackhole

The type of the DDoS attack event. Valid values:

  • defense: an attack event that triggers traffic scrubbing
  • blackhole: an attack event that triggers blackhole filtering
EndTime Long 1637817679000

The end time of the DDoS attack event. This value is a UNIX timestamp. Unit: milliseconds.
