EIP Events That Can Be Monitored

Function Description

On Cloud Eye, you can use event monitoring for data collection, query, and alarm reporting. You can create alarm rules for both system events and custom events. When there are specified events, you will receive alarm notifications.

SYS.EIP

EIP bandwidth overflow

EIPBandwidthOverflow

Major

The used bandwidth exceeded the purchased one, so the network may become slow or packets may be lost. The event value reflects the peak in a monitoring period, and the value of the EIP inbound and outbound bandwidth is taken from a specific point within that period.

  • egressDropBandwidth: dropped outbound packets (bytes)
  • egressAcceptBandwidth: accepted outbound packets (bytes)
  • egressMaxBandwidthPerSec: peak outbound bandwidth (byte/s)
  • ingressAcceptBandwidth: accepted inbound packets (bytes)
  • ingressMaxBandwidthPerSec: peak inbound bandwidth (byte/s)
  • ingressDropBandwidth: dropped inbound packets (bytes)
NOTE:

The EIP bandwidth overflow event is available only in certain regions. You can check the regions on the console.

Check whether the used EIP bandwidth keeps increasing and whether services are normal. Increase the bandwidth if necessary.

The network becomes slow or packets are lost.

Delete EIP

deleteEip

Minor

The EIP was released.

Check whether the EIP was released by mistake.

The resource cannot access the Internet.

EIP blocked

blockEIP

Critical

The used bandwidth of an EIP exceeded 5 Gbit/s, so the EIP was blocked and packets were discarded. Such an event may be caused by DDoS attacks.

Replace the EIP to prevent services from being affected.

Locate and deal with the fault.

Services are impacted.

EIP unblocked

unblockEIP

Critical

The EIP was unblocked.

Use the previous EIP to save resources.

None

Start DDoS traffic scrubbing

ddosCleanEIP

Major

Traffic scrubbing on the EIP was started to prevent DDoS attacks.

Check whether the EIP was attacked.

Services may be interrupted.

Stop DDoS traffic scrubbing

ddosEndCleanEip

Major

Traffic scrubbing on the EIP to prevent DDoS attacks was ended.

Check whether the EIP was attacked.

Services may be interrupted.

Enterprise-class QoS bandwidth limit exceeded

EIPBandwidthRuleOverflow

Major

The allocated QoS bandwidth was exceeded, which may slow down the network or cause packet loss. The event value reflects the peak in a monitoring period, and the value of the EIP inbound and outbound bandwidth is taken from a specific point within that period.

  • egressDropBandwidth: dropped outbound packets (bytes)
  • egressAcceptBandwidth: accepted outbound packets (bytes)
  • egressMaxBandwidthPerSec: peak outbound bandwidth (byte/s)
  • ingressAcceptBandwidth: accepted inbound packets (bytes)
  • ingressMaxBandwidthPerSec: peak inbound bandwidth (byte/s)
  • ingressDropBandwidth: dropped inbound packets (bytes)

Check whether the used EIP bandwidth keeps increasing and whether services are normal. Increase the bandwidth if necessary.

The network becomes slow or packets are lost.

Unbound EIP

EipNotBoundStatus

Major

The EIP is not bound to any resource.

N/A

When an EIP is unbound, you will be billed for IP reservation fees and bandwidth fees (billed by bandwidth).
