An IP address whitelist consists of IP addresses and CIDR blocks that are allowed
to access your instance. This topic describes how to configure a whitelist for a Time
Series Database (TSDB) instance.
Prerequisites
A TSDB instance is created. For more information about how to create a TSDB instance,
see
Create a TSDB instance.
Procedure
- Log on to the TSDB console.
- In the upper-left corner of the page, select the region of the instance for which
you want to configure a whitelist.
- Click Manage in the Actions column that corresponds to the instance for which you want to configure a whitelist.
- On the Instance Details page, click Modify IP Address Whitelist.
- In the dialog box that appears, specify the IP addresses or CIDR blocks that are allowed
to access your TSDB instance, and then click OK.
You can view the whitelist that you configure in the IP Address Whitelist section
of the Instance Details page.
Note
- 0.0.0.0/0 indicates that all IP addresses are allowed to access the instance. To ensure
the security of your database instance, we recommend that you do not add this IP address
to the whitelist unless necessary.
- 127.0.0.1 indicates that all IP addresses are prohibited from accessing the instance.
- If you want to add multiple IP addresses or CIDR blocks to the whitelist, separate
them with commas (,). Do not add a space between two IP addresses.
