IPv6 Gateway:IPv6 Gateway monitoring and alerts

Last Updated:Nov 14, 2025

Use Cloud Monitor (CMS) to collect real-time metrics for IPv6 gateways and IPv6 Internet bandwidth. CMS generates time-series graphs that you can use to troubleshoot issues based on the metrics.

View IPv6 gateway monitoring data

  1. Log on to the IPv6 Gateway console. In the top menu bar, select the region where the IPv6 gateway is deployed.

  2. Click the ID of the target IPv6 gateway instance and click the Monitor tab. You can view monitoring data for the last 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, or a custom time period.

    Metric

    Description

    Outbound Bandwidth

    The bandwidth that is consumed by the IPv6 gateway instance to access external networks.

    Inbound Bandwidth

    The bandwidth that is consumed by external networks to access the IPv6 gateway instance.

    Outbound Bandwidth Usage

    The percentage of the total bandwidth that is consumed by the IPv6 gateway instance to access external networks.

    Inbound Bandwidth Usage

    The percentage of the total bandwidth that is consumed by external networks to access the IPv6 gateway instance.

    Inbound Packet Rate

    The number of packets that the IPv6 gateway instance receives per second.

    Outbound Packet Rate

    The number of packets that the IPv6 gateway instance sends per second.

    Rate of Outbound Packets Dropped

    The rate at which packets are dropped due to outbound traffic throttling on the IPv6 gateway instance.

    Rate of Inbound Packets Dropped

    The rate at which packets are dropped due to inbound traffic throttling on the IPv6 gateway instance.

    Outbound Internet Packets Dropped

    The number of packets that are dropped when the IPv6 gateway instance accesses external networks.

    Inbound Internet Packets Dropped

    The number of packets that are dropped when external networks access the IPv6 gateway instance.

View IPv6 Internet bandwidth monitoring data

  1. Log on to the IPv6 Gateway console. In the top menu bar, select the region where the IPv6 gateway is deployed.

  2. Click the target IPv6 gateway instance ID, select the IPv6 Internet Bandwidth tab, and click the Monitoring icon in the Monitoring column of the target IPv6 address to view monitoring data for 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, or a custom time period.

    Metric

    Description

    The bandwidth that is consumed by an Alibaba Cloud instance to access the Internet.

    Inbound Bandwidth

    The bandwidth that is consumed when the Internet accesses an Alibaba Cloud instance.

    Outbound Bandwidth Usage

    The percentage of the total IPv6 Internet bandwidth that is consumed by an Alibaba Cloud instance to access the Internet.

    Inbound Bandwidth Usage

    The percentage of the total IPv6 Internet bandwidth that is consumed when the Internet accesses an Alibaba Cloud instance.

    Inbound Packet Rate

    The number of packets that an Alibaba Cloud instance receives per second.

    Outbound Packet Rate

    The number of packets that an Alibaba Cloud instance sends per second.

    Rate of Outbound Packets Dropped

    The rate at which packets are dropped due to outbound traffic throttling on an Alibaba Cloud instance.

    Rate of Inbound Packets Dropped

    The rate at which packets are dropped due to inbound traffic throttling on an Alibaba Cloud instance.

    Outbound Internet Packets Dropped

    The number of packets that are dropped when an Alibaba Cloud instance accesses the Internet.

    Inbound Internet Packets Dropped

    The number of packets that are dropped when the Internet accesses an Alibaba Cloud instance.

Create a threshold-triggered alert rule

You can create threshold-triggered alert rules to monitor the usage and status of IPv6 gateway instances or IPv6 Internet bandwidth in real time. If a metric meets the alert conditions, Cloud Monitor automatically sends an alert notification. This helps you promptly learn about abnormal monitoring data and take action.

  1. Log on to the Cloud Monitor console.

  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Alert Service > Alert Rules. Click Create Alert Rule. Set Product to IPv6 Gateway or IPv6 Internet Bandwidth. For more information about the other configuration items, see Create an alert rule.
