To track a new Alibaba data source in the OptScale account, a RAM user required.

Before connecting, ensure that the user has ReadOnly access permission and check the access to the AccessKey pair. If these conditions are not met, go to the Configure Alibaba user section before proceeding to Connect to OptScale

Configure Alibaba user

Before connecting, the user must be configured it first. If you already have a RAM user, go to Step 2:

3. An AccessKey pair is required for the connection. Locate a previously saved pair or create a new one.

Attention

The AccessKey Secret value is hidden shortly after creation. Be sure to copy and store it in a safe place.

Go to OptScale → Data Sources → click the Add button → select Alibaba Cloud.
