How Do I Release an ECS or VPC Endpoint?

To enable log data collection, you are required to buy ECSs for collecting logs and configure VPC endpoints for establishing connections with and managing collection nodes.

If you no longer need log data collection or unsubscribe from SecMaster, you need to manually release the ECSs and VPC endpoints you create for log data collection, or they will continue to be billed. Perform the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner of the management console and select a region or project.
  3. Release the ECS used for log data collection.

    1. In the upper left corner of the page, click and choose Compute > Elastic Cloud Server.
    2. In the resource list, locate the row that contains the target ECS, choose More > Unsubscribe or More > Delete in the Operation column.
