The hybrid cloud traffic analysis capability helps you analyze the data of the inbound traffic and outbound traffic that flow through a transit router between a data center and an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance. The hybrid cloud traffic data is displayed in the form of 1-tuple (cloud IP addresses), 2-tuples (cloud IP addresses and peer IP addresses), and 5-tuples (cloud IP addresses, cloud ports, protocols, peer IP addresses, and peer ports).
Enable the hybrid cloud traffic analysis capability
To use the hybrid cloud traffic analysis capability, you need to enable this capability for specific instances in specific regions. Network Intelligence Service (NIS) collects, analyzes, and displays only the traffic data of these instances for which the hybrid cloud traffic analysis capability is enabled.
Log on to the NIS console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
On the Traffic Activation Management page, click the Hybrid Cloud Traffic tab and select the desired region from the drop-down list.
In the Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN) instance list, find the desired CEN instance.
Find the ID of the virtual border router (VBR) connection whose traffic data you want to view and click Enable in the Actions column.
If you do not need to view the hybrid cloud traffic data of a specific VBR connection, you can click Close in the Actions column to disable the hybrid cloud traffic analysis capability.
View hybrid cloud traffic
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
On the Hybrid Cloud Traffic page, click the Inbound or Outbound tab and select a region from the drop-down list.
Click the 1-tuple, 2-tuples, or 5-tuples tab to view the trend charts and traffic lists of inbound or outbound traffic within the specified time range.
You can specify a time range and other search criteria to view the traffic of IP addresses, ports, and protocols within the specified time range.

Traffic List: displays the cloud IP addresses, peer IP addresses, VBR IDs, transit router IDs, inbound and outbound traffic, and number of inbound and outbound packets in the specified region within the specified time range.
5-tuples
Statistics/Trend Charts: displays the trend charts of hybrid cloud traffic in the specified region within the specified time range, including the hybrid cloud traffic of top-N cloud ports, the hybrid cloud traffic of top-N peer ports, and the hybrid cloud traffic of top-N protocols.
Traffic List: displays the cloud IP addresses, cloud ports, protocols, peer IP addresses, peer ports, VBR IDs, transit router IDs, inbound and outbound traffic, and number of inbound and outbound packets in the specified region within the specified time range.
FAQ
Why am I unable to select an existing transit router in a region from the drop-down list when I want to enable the hybrid cloud traffic analysis capability for a VBR connection of the transit router?
The hybrid cloud traffic analysis capability is only applicable to Enterprise Edition transit routers of the latest version. If you cannot select an existing Enterprise Edition transit router in a region from the drop-down list when you want to enable the hybrid cloud traffic analysis capability for a VBR connection of the transit router in the region, check whether the transit router is upgraded to the latest version in the CEN console. For more information, see Announcement: Optimization on VPC-connected Enterprise Edition transit routers.
