Network Quality Metrics (Plug-ins Required)
The network quality of connections is monitored using two plug-ins, and there are two key metrics: network latency and packet loss rate.
For details, see Installing the Direct Connect Metric Collection Plug-ins.
Constraints
- For each virtual interface, only one VM can be configured for monitoring, or monitoring data may fail to be reported.
- No images can be configured for the VM where the Direct Connect monitoring plug-ins are installed, or monitoring data may fail to be reported.
- The VM where the Direct Connect monitoring plug-ins are installed must be in the same account and region as the virtual interface.
Procedure
- Configure the Direct Connect plug-ins.
For details, see Installing Direct Connect Metric Collection Plug-ins.
- Configure the return route for the detection source IP address in the on-premises data center.
Example route (A Huawei-developed device is used as an example.)
ip route-static 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.255 10.0.0.1
This command is to add a return route whose destination is the detection source IP address used in the on-premises data center and next hop is the local gateway configured on the corresponding virtual interface. This ensures that the return packets from the on-premises data center can reach the detection source in the VPC through the correct path.

Metrics
| ID | Metric | Description | Value Range | Unit | Conversion Rule | Dimension | Monitoring Interval |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| latency | Latency | Network latency of a connection | ≥ 0 | ms | N/A | virtual_interface_id | 1 minute |
| packet_loss_rate | Packet Loss Rate | Packet loss rate of a connection | 0~100 | % | N/A | virtual_interface_id | 1 minute |
Dimensions
| Key | Value |
|---|---|
| virtual_interface_id | Virtual interface ID (associated with an automated connection) You can query the virtual interface ID on the virtual interface list page. |
Helpful Links
You can delete the plugins directory to delete the installed plug-ins based on your service requirements.
Command:
cd /usr/local/uniagent/extension/install/telescope/ rm -rf plugins/
Example:
The plugins directory is automatically created when the plug-ins are installed. Deleting this directory does not affect your services.
