Accessing a GeminiDB Influx Instance Using a Load Balancer Address

Scenarios

You can access a GeminiDB Influx instance using a load balancer address.

Usage Notes

• A load balancer address does not support security groups. After an instance is created, configure IP address access control. If no whitelist is configured, all IP addresses that can communicate with the VPC can access the instance.
• To use the access control function, choose Service Tickets > Create Service Ticket in the upper right corner of the console and contact the customer service to grant required permissions.

Enabling a Blacklist/Whitelist for a Load Balancer IP Address

1. Log in to the Huawei Cloud console.
2. In the service list, choose Databases > GeminiDB.
3. On the Instances page, click the target instance.
4. In the Network Information area, click next to Access Control.

   • Blacklist: The whitelist and blacklist cannot be configured at the same time. If you switch between lists, your previous settings will be lost. IP addresses in the blacklist cannot be accessed.
   • Whitelist: The whitelist and blacklist cannot be configured at the same time. If you switch between lists, your previous settings will be lost. Only IP addresses in the whitelist are allowed to access the system.
