Cloud Eye

Cloud Eye monitors the metrics of WAF, so that you can understand the protection status of WAF in a timely manner, and set protection policies accordingly. For details, see the Cloud Eye User Guide.

For details about monitoring metrics, see Monitoring Metrics.

TMS

Tag Management Service (TMS) is a visualized service for fast and unified tag management that enables you to label and manage WAF instances by tags.

**Table 2** WAF operations supported by TMS
Operation	Resource Type	Event Name
Creating a WAF instance tag	Tag	createResourceTag
Deleting a WAF instance tag	Tag	deleteResourceTag

IAM

Identity and Access Management (IAM) provides the permission management function for WAF. Only users granted with the WAF Administrator permissions can use WAF. To obtain the permissions, contact users who have the Security Administrator permissions. For details, see the Identity and Access Management User Guide.

SMN

The Simple Message Notification (SMN) service provides the notification function. After the notification function is enabled in WAF, users will receive an SMS message or email when an attack on a protected domain is detected. For details about SMN, see the Simple Message Notification User Guide.

ELB

You can add your WAF instances to a load balancer so that your website traffic is distributed by the load balancer across WAF instances for detection and then forwarded by WAF to the origin servers. By this way, website traffic will be protected even if one of your WAF instances becomes faulty.

Enterprise Management

You can manage multiple projects in an enterprise, separately settle their costs, and assign different personnel for them. A project can be started or stopped independently without affecting others. You can easily manage your projects after creating an enterprise project for each of them.

WAF can be interconnected with Enterprise Management. You can manage WAF resources by enterprise project and grant different permissions to users.
