Managing Tags

Tag Management Service (TMS) enables you to use tags on the management console to manage resources. TMS works with other cloud services to manage tags. TMS manages tags globally. Other cloud services manage only their own tags.

Constraints

  • Log in to the management console. Click Service List and choose Management & Governance > Tag Management Service. Set predefined tags on the TMS console.
  • A tag consists of a key and value. You can add only one value for each key.
  • A maximum of 20 tags can be added for each DB instance.

  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and a project.
  3. Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Databases > Relational Database Service.
  4. On the Instances page, click the target DB instance.

    • When you enter a tag key and value, the system automatically displays all tags (including predefined tags and resource tags) associated with your DB instances (except the current instance).
    • The tag key must be unique. It must consist of 1 to 128 characters, including letters, digits, spaces, and the following characters: _ . : = + - @. However, it cannot start or end with a space, or start with _sys_.
