CFW Monitored Metrics

Description

This topic describes metrics reported by CFW to Cloud Eye as well as their namespaces and dimensions. You can use APIs provided by Cloud Eye to query the metrics of the monitored object and alarms generated for CFW. You can also query them on the Cloud Eye console.

Namespace

SYS.CFW

A namespace is an abstract collection of resources and objects. Multiple namespaces can be created in a single cluster with the data isolated from each other. This enables namespaces to share the same cluster services without affecting each other.

Constraints

The following metrics are supported only in CN North-Ulanqab1, CN-Hong Kong, and CN East-Shanghai1:
  • internet_protection_traffic
  • vpc_protection_traffic
  • internet_protection_traffic_inbound
  • internet_protection_traffic_outbound
  • ips_allow_count

Metrics

The metrics described in Table 1 are old. You are advised to use the metric in Table 2.

Value

fw_instance_id

A firewall ID is a CFW instance ID. It is automatically generated by the system after CFW is created.

You can obtain the value of this parameter by referring to Querying the Firewall List.

  • By default, if fw_instance_Id is not specified, information about the first firewall under the account is returned. If fw_instance_Id is specified, information about the firewall with this fw_instance_Id is returned.
  • If object_Id is specified, information about the firewall with this object_Id is returned by default. If both fw_instance_Id and object_Id are specified, the specified object_Id must belong to the specified firewall.
