Collector Configuration Manual for "Alibaba Cloud - RDS Error Logs"

Before reading this, please first refer to:

TrueWatch Integration

Before using this collector, you must install the 'Integration Core Package' and its corresponding third-party dependency packages

This script's code execution depends on RDS instance object collection. If custom object collection for RDS is not configured, the error log script will not be able to collect error log data.

1. Configuration Structure

The configuration structure of this collector is as follows:

Field	Type	Required	Description
`regions`	list	Required	List of regions to collect data from
`regions[#]`	str	Required	Region ID. For example: `'cn-hangzhou'` See the full table in the appendix

2. Configuration Example

Specifying Regions

Collect data from Hangzhou and Shanghai regions.

Python
collector_configs = {
    'regions': [ 'cn-hangzhou', 'cn-shanghai' ],
}

3. Data Reporting Format
