How to Monitor Virtual Private Cloud in Huawei Cloud
Site24x7 monitors the availability and health of your Huawei Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), giving your team real-time visibility into the operational status of your cloud network.
The dependency view maps all associated resources, helping your team quickly identify and resolve connectivity issues across your cloud infrastructure.
Use case
Ensure connectivity: Track the live status of your VPN gateways and connections to detect outages instantly. Respond to failures before they disrupt hybrid cloud access or cross-region communication for dependent workloads.
Setup and configuration
VPC resources are auto-discovered and monitored during the Huawei Cloud integration. To enable monitoring, follow these steps:
- Navigate to Cloud > Huawei > Add Huawei Monitor. Learn how to add a Huawei Cloud monitor.
- While adding or editing a Huawei Cloud monitor, select VPC from the Service/Resource Types drop-down menu and click Save.
- Go to Cloud > Huawei. Then, select the created Huawei monitor.
- Click VPC to view the performance metrics.
Summary
The Summary tab displays the current operational status of your VPC, helping your team quickly assess the availability of your cloud network in real time.
Dependency view
The Dependency View tab visualizes the resources running inside your VPC, including ECS instances, the NAT gateway, DCS, load balancers, VPC endpoints, DDS, Auto Scaling groups, VPN connections, RDS for MySQL, RDS for PostgreSQL, RDS for SQL Server, GaussDB, GaussDB (for openGauss), GeminiDB (Cassandra, MongoDB, and Redis), and WAF instances. Use it to trace the blast radius of any connectivity issue and identify which dependent resources are affected when your VPC status changes.
Common monitored data
Outages
The Outages tab displays outage details, including start time, end time, duration, and related comments, to help track and review downtime events.
