Precautions for using
When using Cloud Security Watcher, please note the following:
- You can use Cloud Security Watcher only in the NAVER Cloud Platform VPC environment.
- Since the agent plays the role of reading the main information of the system and delivering it to the manager, it must be installed with the super admin account due to system requirements.
- If the supported server specifications are not met, the agent will not run.
- Information collection periods through APIs and agents are at least 5 minutes long, which can cause delays in displaying data.
Usage fee
Cloud Security Watcher is a pay-as-you-go service that charges monthly by differentially calculating the average number of servers used per month and the usage fee for each usage section. For detailed description of Cloud Security Watcher's usage fees, see the Service > Security > Cloud Security Watcher menu or the Portal > Pricing menu.
