Configuring an Archive Instance

Once a data archiving instance is configured, all associated archiving tasks will direct their data to this instance. Huawei Cloud Astro Zero facilitates the archiving process but does not offer storage for the archived data.

Configuring an Archive Instance

Log in to the Huawei Cloud Astro Zero console and click Access Homepage. The application development page is displayed.
In the upper left corner of the page, click and choose Environments > Environment Configuration.
Choose Maintenance from the main menu.
In the navigation pane, choose Global Elements > Data Archiving > Archive Instance Configuration.
On the Archive Instance Configuration page, click New Archive Instance.

Select an archive instance type, set connection parameters, and click Test and Save.
