Monitoring allows you to check the status and usage of Yandex Cloud Interconnect resources.

Monitoring the trunk statusMonitoring the trunk status

Using monitoring, you can check the trunk status on your own.

For example, to check the status of a physical trunk port:

  • Open the Yandex Cloud management console.
  • Go to monitoring from the resource folder by selecting Folder → Monitoring.
  • Navigate to Interconnect - Direct Trunk Connection Overview.
  • In the drop-down list of the Resource ID selector, choose the ID of the trunk in question.
  • Make sure the Connection State metric value is 1, which means the trunk port is up and running.

Monitoring the private or public connection statusMonitoring the private or public connection status

Using monitoring, you can check the private or service connection status on your own.

For example, to check the BGP state for a private or service connection:

  • Open the Yandex Cloud management console.
  • Go to monitoring from the resource folder by selecting Folder → Monitoring.
  • Navigate to Interconnect → Private/Public Connection Overview.
  • In the Resource ID drop-down list, choose the ID of the private or service connection.
  • Make sure the BGP State metric value is 1, which means the BGP session for this private connection is up and running.

Metric typesMetric types

Monitoring in Cloud Interconnect offers the following metric types:

  • Trunk metrics
  • Private or public connection metrics

Trunk metricsTrunk metrics

bytes_from_cloud_num Bytes Uint64 Traffic transmitted from Yandex Cloud to a customer (excluding L2 headers).
packet_rate_to_cloud_pps Packets per second Uint64 Rate of packet transmission from a customer to Yandex Cloud.
packet_rate_from_cloud_pps Packets per second Uint64 Rate of packet transmission from Yandex Cloud to a customer.
packets_to_cloud_num Packets Uint64 Number of packets transmitted from a customer to Yandex Cloud.
packets_from_cloud_num Packets Uint64 Number of packets transmitted from Yandex Cloud to a customer.

NotesNotes

  • If the values of the metrics that have dropped_packets_ and error_packets_ in their names do not increase, this means there is no packet loss on the Cloud Interconnect equipment, but does not guarantee that there is no packet loss along the entire path of user traffic (from the user resources to Yandex Cloud and to the user infrastructure).
  • Metrics with num and seconds in their names can be reset by Yandex Cloud team (on purpose or when necessary) or if the measurement falls outside its range.
  • Trunk metrics are only available for direct trunks, not partner ones.

Metric collection pointMetric collection point

Metrics are collected directly from the Cloud Interconnect equipment, i.e., as close as possible to the customer connection point.

Metric update frequencyMetric update frequency

Metric values for the Cloud Interconnect resources are updated every 60 seconds.
