Operations Support

The operations support is provided in the form of TAM monthly reports, which contain support summary, resource usage, service tickets, security protection, and optimization suggestions.

A monthly service report of the last month is sent to the customer's mailbox used to register with HUAWEI CLOUD or other mailboxes required by the customer before the tenth day of each calendar month. (The deadline should be prolonged accordingly in case of statutory holidays.)

  • In some special cases, HUAWEI CLOUD may fail to create and send monthly reports due to data collection restrictions. For example, it is not suitable to create monthly reports when a deployment architecture is still in the POC phase because the architecture may change a lot. In addition, the tools may fail to collect the monthly data under some deployment scenarios specific to Dedicated Cloud.
  • During the output of a monthly service report, HUAWEI CLOUD needs to collect the O&M data of the customer's infrastructure. All data is used only for preparing monthly service reports and is not used for any other purposes. Table 1 describes the collected data types and purposes.

Automatic statistics collection and analysis and generating the "resource overview" content of the monthly report.

Resource Load Monitoring Data

Resource monitoring metrics such as CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage, disk read/write speed, IP outbound bandwidth, IP inbound bandwidth, number of concurrent connections, number of new connections, network delay, and network packet loss rate.

The automation tool invokes the cloud service API to query results. Data is not stored during the query. The results used for monthly reports are stored separately for different tenants.

Automatic statistics collection and analysis and generating the "resource overview" content of the monthly report.

Security Configuration and Monitoring Data
