This topic describes how to query the bills for the burstable clean bandwidth of an Anti-DDoS Pro or Anti-DDoS Premium instance. This topic also describes how to query alerts on exceeded upper limits.

Query bills for the burstable clean bandwidth

Prerequisites

An Anti-DDoS Pro or Anti-DDoS Premium instance is purchased. The burstable clean bandwidth feature is enabled for the instance. For more information, see Purchase an Anti-DDoS Pro or Anti-DDoS Premium instance and Configure the burstable clean bandwidth feature.

Bill generation time and settlement time

The following table describes the time at which bills are generated and settled for the burstable clean bandwidth feature.
Metering methodBill generation timeSettlement time
Daily 95th percentile bandwidthThe bill for the burstable clean bandwidth that is used in a calendar day is displayed on the System Logs page at 14:00 on the next day, and Alibaba Cloud sends notifications to the contacts of your Alibaba Cloud account by email. At 17:00 on the next day the burstable clean bandwidth is used, Alibaba Cloud deducts the fee of the burstable clean bandwidth feature from your account balance.
Monthly 95th percentile bandwidthThe bill for the burstable clean bandwidth that is used in a calendar month is displayed on the System Logs page at 10:00 on the first day of the next month, and Alibaba Cloud sends notifications to the contacts of your Alibaba Cloud account by email. At 10:00 on the third day of the next month, Alibaba Cloud deducts the fee of the burstable clean bandwidth feature from your account balance.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Anti-DDoS Pro console.
  2. In the top navigation bar, select the region where your instance resides.
    • Anti-DDoS Pro: If your instance is an Anti-DDoS Pro instance, select Chinese Mainland.
    • Anti-DDoS Premium: If your instance is an Anti-DDoS Premium instance, select Outside Chinese Mainland.
    You can switch the region to configure and manage Anti-DDoS Pro or Anti-DDoS Premium instances. Make sure that you select the required region when you use Anti-DDoS Pro or Anti-DDoS Premium.
  3. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Investigation > System Logs.
  4. On the System Logs page, select a metering method for the burstable clean bandwidth feature, specify the IP address of the instance that you want to manage and a time range, and then query the bills.
    Metering methodDescription of each item in the Description column
    Daily 95th Percentile of Burstable Clean Bandwidth
    • The peak traffic: the peak 95th percentile bandwidth within the calendar day.
    • The bandwidth that exceeds the clean bandwidth: the difference between the peak 95th percentile bandwidth within the calendar day and the clean bandwidth of the instance on the calendar day.
    • The usage of the burstable clean bandwidth: the burstable clean bandwidth that is used. The value is equal to the difference between the peak 95th percentile bandwidth within the calendar day and the clean bandwidth of the instance on the calendar day. For more information about how to calculate the peak 95th percentile bandwidth within a calendar day, see Billing of the burstable clean bandwidth feature.
    Monthly 95th Percentile of Burstable Clean Bandwidth
    • The peak traffic: the actual peak service traffic in the current month.
    • The bandwidth that exceeds the clean bandwidth: the difference between the actual peak service traffic in the current month and the clean bandwidth of the instance on the last day when the burstable clean bandwidth feature is enabled in a calendar month.
    • The usage of the burstable clean bandwidth: the burstable clean bandwidth that is used. The value is equal to the difference between the peak 95th percentile bandwidth within a calendar month and the clean bandwidth of the instance on the last day when the burstable clean bandwidth feature is enabled in the calendar month. For more information about how to calculate the monthly 95th percentile bandwidth, see Billing of the burstable clean bandwidth feature.
    The Status column displays the status of bills. A bill can be in one of the following states:
    • Pending for Billing: The bill for the burstable clean bandwidth is not generated. Only the usage of the burstable clean bandwidth is collected. To view the details about the actual service traffic in the bill, you can click View in the Details column to go to the Details dialog box.
      Note If you have questions about the usage of the burstable clean bandwidth, contact technical support by using Intelligent Customer Service. If the amount of the burstable clean bandwidth in the bill is different from your actual usage, the bill is terminated, and you are not required to make a payment.
    • Billed: The bill is generated based on the actual usage of the burstable clean bandwidth. Alibaba Cloud deducts the fee for the actual usage of the burstable clean bandwidth from your account balance. Make sure that your Alibaba Cloud account has sufficient balance. If your account has an overdue payment, all services that are charged based on the pay-as-you-go billing method become unavailable.
    • Billing Terminated: The billing for the burstable clean bandwidth is terminated. You are not required to make a payment.

Query alerts on exceeded upper limits

Prerequisites

An Anti-DDoS Pro or Anti-DDoS Premium instance is purchased. For more information, see Purchase an Anti-DDoS Pro or Anti-DDoS Premium instance.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Anti-DDoS Pro console.
  2. In the top navigation bar, select the region where your instance resides.
    • Anti-DDoS Pro: If your instance is an Anti-DDoS Pro instance, select Chinese Mainland.
    • Anti-DDoS Premium: If your instance is an Anti-DDoS Premium instance, select Outside Chinese Mainland.
    You can switch the region to configure and manage Anti-DDoS Pro or Anti-DDoS Premium instances. Make sure that you select the required region when you use Anti-DDoS Pro or Anti-DDoS Premium.
  3. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Investigation > System Logs.
  4. On the System Logs page, select Alerts on Exceeded Upper Limits, specify the IP address of the instance that you want to manage and a time range, and then query the alerts on exceeded upper limits.
    ParameterDescription
    DateThe time when an alert is generated.
    TypeThe type of the system log.
    DescriptionThe IP address of the instance on which the alert is generated and the event type of the alert.

    The following event types are supported: service bandwidth, new connections, and concurrent connections. If the upper limit of a specification that corresponds to an event type is exceeded, an alert of this event type is generated.
