Modifying the DNS Server Address and Adding Security Group Rules (Linux)
Scenarios
This topic describes how to add the DNS server address and security group rules to a Linux ECS or BMS to ensure successful downloading of the Agent installation package and successful monitoring data collection. This topic takes an ECS as an example. The operations for BMSs are similar.
You can modify the DNS server address of an ECS via command lines or the management console.
DNS and security group configuration are intended for the primary NIC.
Modifying the DNS Server Address (Command Lines)
The following describes how to add the DNS server address to the resolv.conf file using command lines.
To use the management console, see Modifying the DNS Server Address (Management Console).
Modifying the DNS Server Address (Management Console)
The following describes how to modify the DNS server address of an ECS on the management console. This topic takes an ECS as an example. The operations for BMSs are similar.
- In the upper left corner, select a region and project.
- Click Service List in the upper left corner. Under Compute, select Elastic Cloud Server.
On the ECS console, click the name of the ECS to view its details.

- In the Gateway and DNS Information area, click following DNS Server Address.
Set the DNS server address to the value of nameserver in 3.
- Click OK.
The new DNS server address takes effect after the ECS or BMS is restarted.
Modifying the ECS Security Group Rules (Management Console)
