Monitoring Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (public preview)

Configuration

AliCloud Object Storage Service sensor can be disabled, and it can be filtered by tags and resource groups. It is possible to configure AliCloud Object Storage Service sensor by using the agent configuration in <agentinstall_dir>/etc/instana/configuration.yaml. Follow the steps:

1. Enable the AliCloud sensor, and set the AccessKey pair in the agent's configuration.yaml file:

   com.instana.plugin.alicloud:
     # Valid values: true, false
     enabled: true # enabled (true) by default
     # Alibaba Cloud AccessKey ID  is used to verify the identity of the user
     accessKeyId: '<YOUR_ALICLOUD_ACCESSKEY_ID>'
     # Alibaba Cloud AccessKey secret is used to encrypt and verify the signature string
     accessKeySecret: '<YOUR_ALICLOUD_ACCESSKEY_SECRET>'
   

2. Enable the AliCloud Object Storage Service sensor in the agent's configuration.yaml file:

   com.instana.plugin.alicloud.rds.oss:
     # Valid values: true, false
     enabled: true # enabled (true) by default
     # Alibaba Cloud AccessKey ID  is used to verify the identity of the user
     accessKeyId: '<YOUR_ALICLOUD_MYSQL_ACCESS_KEY_ID>'
     # Alibaba Cloud AccessKey secret is used to encrypt and verify the signature string
     accessKeySecret: '<YOUR_ALICLOUD__MYSQL_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET>'
   

The AccessKey pair in the section com.instana.plugin.alicloud can be applied for each service by default. The AccessKey pair in each service section is not required, unless you need individual AccessKey for the specific service. Set the AccessKey pair in service section overrides the AccessKey in com.instana.plugin.alicloud for the service.
