Process of Using DCS

How to Manage DCS Instances

You can access Distributed Cache Service (DCS) from the web-based management console or by using RESTful application programming interfaces (APIs) through HTTPS requests.

• Using the console

  You can sign up and log in to the console, click in the upper left corner on the homepage, and choose Middleware > Distributed Cache Service for Redis.

  For details on how to use the DCS console, see chapters from Buying a DCS Redis Instance to Migrating Instance Data.

  DCS monitoring data is recorded by Cloud Eye. To view the monitoring metrics or configure alarm rules, go to the Cloud Eye console. For details, see Viewing DCS Metrics.

  If you have enabled Cloud Trace Service (CTS), DCS instance operations are recorded by CTS. You can view the operations history on the CTS console. For details, see Viewing DCS Audit Logs.

• Using APIs

  DCS provides RESTful APIs for you to integrate DCS into your own application system. For details about DCS APIs and API calling, see the Distributed Cache Service API Reference.

  

  1. For DCS instance functions with open APIs, manage them using the console or calling the APIs. For those without open APIs, manage them using the console.
  2. For details about APIs for monitoring and auditing, see the Cloud Eye and Cloud Trace Service (CTS) documentation.
