During the operation of Tencent Cloud direct connect, each tunnel takes different traffic load for different business. If the tunnel is full of business traffic, the connection will be unavailable. To solve this issue, Tencent Cloud direct connect launches the traffic analysis feature at the gateway granularity to inform you the IPs of traffic in "Top N" ranklist and the traffic details and help you adjust your business.
Prerequisite
Business traffic has flowed in the gateway.

Settings of time period and time granularity
For time period, you can select 3 minutes ago, 1 hour ago or 7 days ago.
For time granularity, you can select 1 minute, 1 hour or 1 day. This indicates the traffic statistics is collected every minute/hour/day.
Note:
If you estimate that the traffic analysis time is about 0-30 minutes, we recommend that you select 1 minute for time granularity. If the analysis time is more than 30 minutes, we recommend that you select 1 hour.
If you need more accurate and fine-grained traffic statistics and analysis within 3 minutes, we recommend that you select 3 minutes ago for time period and set 1 hour for custom time span (for example, 2021-08-06 14:18 to 2021-08-06 15:17) and select 1 minute for time granularity.
