Increasing the Quota

Scenario

SecMaster allows you to increase ECS Quota and change required duration at any time after you make a purchase.

During the purchase, if you are stuck due to insufficient permission, refer to Assigning Permissions.

Limitations and Constraints

  • The ECS quota is the total number of ECSs that are authorized to receive checks. The maximum ECS quota cannot exceed 10,000.
  • When buying SecMaster, ensure that the total ECS quota is greater than or equal to the total number of ECSs under the current account. Otherwise, threats may not be detected in a timely manner if unauthorized hosts are attacked, adding more risks such as data leakage.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Security & Compliance > SecMaster.
  3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Purchased Resources. On the page that is displayed, locate the region where you want to add quotas and click Increase Quota.
  4. On the Buy SecMaster page, configure SecMaster parameters.

    1. Current Configuration: version information of the current SecMaster before you increase the quota
    2. Upgrade Method: Select Increase Quota.
    3. ECS Quota: Set the ECS quota.

      Parameter

      Description

      ECS Quota

      The maximum number of ECSs that require protection from SecMaster.

      The total ECS quota must be greater than or equal to the total number of hosts within your account. This value cannot be changed to a smaller one after your purchase is complete.

      NOTE:
      • The maximum ECS quota cannot exceed 10,000.
      • If some of your ECSs are not protected by SecMaster, threats to them cannot be detected in a timely manner, which may result in security risks, such as data leakage. To prevent this, increase the ECS quota upon an increase of the host asset quantity.
