Viewing the Total Traffic

Scenarios

This section describes how to view the traffic topology of a CFW instance on the Dashboard page, helping you understand the Internet and VPC border traffic of cloud assets.

Notes and Constraints

VPC border protection details can be viewed only after a VPC border firewall is configured.

Viewing the Total Traffic

1. Log in to the CFW console.
2. Click in the upper left corner of the management console and select a region.
3. (Optional) Switch to another firewall instance. If there are multiple firewall instances, you can select a desired instance from the drop-down list in the upper left corner of the page.
4. In the Operations Dashboard area, view the Internet border and Inter-VPC border traffic.
   • Click the Internet Borders or Inter-VPC Borders tab to view the overall protection statistics of resources.
   • In the upper right corner, change the query range, from 5 minutes to 7 days.
   • Peak Inbound/Outbound Traffic, Inbound/Outbound 95th Percentile Bandwidth, and Blocked Accesses:
     View the traffic blocked by access control policies, the 95th percentile inbound and outbound bandwidth, and the maximum inbound and outbound traffic. For details, see Table 1.

     Table 1 Peak inbound/outbound traffic, inbound/outbound 95th percentile bandwidth, and blocked accesses

     Time Range	Value
     Last 1 hour	Maximum value within every minute
     Last 24 hours	Maximum value within every 5 minutes
     Last 7 days	Maximum value within every hour
     Custom	5 minutes to 6 hours: maximum value within every minute 6 hours (included) to 3 days: maximum value within every 5 minutes 3 (included) to 7 days (included): maximum value within every 30 minutes

     • Peak traffic: The system collects bandwidth in every statistical period. The maximum value within a certain period of time is regarded as the peak traffic.

       For example, if the outbound peak traffic is 100 Mbit/s, the maximum bandwidth within a certain period of time (for example, 24 hours) is 100 Mbit/s.

     • 95th percentile bandwidth: The system collects bandwidth in every statistical period, and sorts the bandwidth values in descending order, and removes the top 5% bandwidth values. The remaining maximum bandwidth is the 95th percentile bandwidth.

       For example, if the 95th percentile bandwidth in the outbound direction is 100 Mbit/s, that means after the bandwidth values are sorted in descending order and the highest 5% values are removed within a certain period of time (for example, 24 hours), the remaining maximum bandwidth is 100 Mbit/s.

   • Traffic Trend:

     Inbound, outbound, and overall traffic changes. You can view EIPs, Average, or Maximum in the upper right corner. For details about how they are calculated, see Table 2.

     Table 2 Traffic trend statistics

     Time Range	Average	Maximum
     Last 1 hour	Average value within every minute	Maximum value within every minute
     Last 24 hours	Average value within every 5 minutes	Maximum value within every 5 minutes
     Last 7 days	Average value within every hour	Maximum value within every hour
     Custom	5 minutes to 6 hours: average value within every minute 6 hours (included) to 3 days: average value within every 5 minutes 3 (included) to 7 days (included): average value within every 30 minutes	5 minutes to 6 hours: maximum value within every minute 6 hours (included) to 3 days: maximum value within every 5 minutes 3 (included) to 7 days (included): maximum value within every 30 minutes
     Note: Data is updated in real time based on traffic statistics.

   • Attacks: View the traffic blocked or allowed by intrusion prevention. For details about how to modify intrusion prevention configurations, see Configuring Basic IPS Protection.
   • Access Control: View the traffic blocked or allowed by access control policies. For details about how to modify access control policies, see Access Control.
