Connecting to an Instance on the Console

Precautions

• If SSL is enabled, you cannot connect to the instance on the console.
• Only proxy-based general-purpose instances can be accessed on the console.

Configuring the Required Permissions

If you have an IAM account, assign DAS FullAccess permissions to all users of the account. For details, see Create User Groups and Assign Permissions.

You can create a custom policy to specify the type of databases that you have permissions for.

1. Log in to the IAM console and choose Permissions > Policies/Roles.
   Figure 1 Creating a custom policy
   
2. Specify a policy name, policy view, and content.
   Figure 2 Configuring a custom policy
   

   Table 1 Custom policy description

   Parameter	Description
   Policy Name	Enter a policy name.
   Policy View	Select JSON.
   Policy Content	Configure the following policy content: { "Version": "1.1", "Statement": [ { "Action": [ "das:*:*", "nosql:instance:list" ], "Effect": "Allow" } ] } Alternatively, click Select Existing Policy/Role, select DAS FullAccess as a template, and retain only the DB type information. In this example, retain only nosql:instance:list.
   Description	Enter a policy description.
   Scope	Retain the default settings (project-level service).

3. Click OK. You can then view the created custom policy on the Permissions page.

   • Save to Executed Commands

     This function is enabled by default to save the recently executed commands for your later query.

     Then you can click the Executed Commands tab on the lower page to view historical commands.

     

     If this function is disabled, the commands executed subsequently are not displayed any longer. You can click next to Save to Executed Commands in the upper right corner to disable this function.

   • Execute

     You can enter a command in the command window and click Execute or F8.

     

     • Do not use transactions, Lua scripts, Pub/Sub commands, or other commands that have blocking semantics.
     • For an instance that supports multiple databases, you can change the current database on the console, but cannot change it using a SELECT statement.
     Figure 12 Executing a command
     

     After a command is executed, you can view the execution result on the Results page.

   • Save
     You can save a command to all instances, the current instance, or the current database. Then you can view details in My Commands.

     Figure 13 Saving a command
     
   • My Commands

     Common commands are displayed the My Commands page.

     Set a filter to narrow the scope of commands. If you select All, all commands saved in the current account are displayed.

     Figure 14 Selecting a filter to view commands
     

     Alternatively, enter a command title or statement in the search box to search for the corresponding command.

     Figure 15 Searching for a command
     

     On the My Commands page, you can also create, edit, and delete a command or copy it to the Execute window.

   • Clear

     You can also press F10 to clear the command in the execution window.
