Why Cannot the Total ECS Quota Be Less Than the Number of Existing ECSs?

The total ECS quota is the total number of hosts that are authorized to receive detections. When buying SecMaster, ensure that the total ECS quota is greater than or equal to the total number of hosts under the current account. Otherwise, threats may not be detected in a timely manner if unauthorized hosts are attacked, increasing risks such as data leakage.

Table 1 describes the host quota configuration.

Table 1 ECS quota description

Parameter

Description

ECS Quota

The maximum number of servers that require protection.

The total ECS quota must be greater than or equal to the total number of servers within your account. This value cannot be changed to a smaller one after your purchase is complete.

NOTE:
  • The maximum ECS quota cannot exceed 10,000.
  • If some of your ECSs are not protected by SecMaster, threats to them cannot be detected in a timely manner, which may result in security risks, such as data leakage. To prevent this, increase the quota whenever your server quantity increases.
