Contributors

Learn how to set up and configure traffic classification policies to manage and optimize network traffic in StorageGRID.

Traffic Classification Policies provide a method to monitor and/or limit traffic based on a specific tenant, buckets, IP subnets, or load balancer endpoints. Network connectivity and bandwidth are especially important metrics for StorageGRID.

To configure a Traffic Classification Policy, follow these steps:

Steps

  1. On the GMI, navigate to Configuration › System Settings › Traffic Classification.

  2. Click Create +

  3. Enter a name and description for your policy.

  4. Create a matching rule.

  5. Set a limit (optional).

    monitor-limit

  6. Save your policy

    monitor-traffic-policy

    To view the metrics associated to your Traffic Classification Policy, select your policy and click Metrics. A Grafana dashboard is generated displaying information such as Load Balancer Request Traffic and Average Request Duration.
