Burst Bandwidth Alert

Scenarios

This function is suitable for domain names with stable bandwidth.

Assume that your domain name example.com consumes 500 Mbit/s to 2 Gbit/s per day and rarely uses over 2 Gbit/s. You can set the bandwidth threshold to 2 Gbit/s. When the bandwidth reaches 2 Gbit/s, alerts are sent to the mobile number and email address bound to your account. You can quickly check the domain access status to prevent high bandwidth caused by attacks and excess billing.

Precautions

• Set an appropriate threshold. Setting it lower than 100 Mbit/s may frequently trigger alerts.
• If major events are expected to generate high bandwidth, adjust the threshold or temporarily disable this function. Remember to adjust the threshold again after events.
• Monitoring alerts may be delayed by about 10 minutes.
• SMS messages and emails are sent to the mobile number and email address bound to your account. For details about how to change the mobile number and email address, see Binding or Changing the Service Mobile Number and Changing the Service Email Address. If you need to change the message recipients, configure the O&M > O&M reminder item by referring to Configuring Message Recipients.
