Dashboard

Available in VPC

The dashboard allows you to view the access control status of the DB & Server Access Control service at a glance. It visually displays key metrics such as access control session activation trends, daily server access and command analytics, and daily DB access and query analytics. It also enables the user to monitor various analytics—including command and query execution status during the viewing period within non-business hours, server and DB access blocking status (based on User/Target), high-volume query occurrences, and information on the most accessed users and the most and least accessed targets—and effectively analyze resource usage patterns.

Note

Analytics on access blocking (User/Target) and bulk query occurrences can be used to monitor anomalies such as unauthorized repeated access attempts, account hijacking, and abnormal bulk retrieval of personal information.

Check access control status

To check access control status via the Dashboard:

In the NAVER Cloud Platform console's VPC environment, navigate to Menu > All Services > Security > DB & Server Access Control > Dashboard.
Check the graphs at the top of the Dashboard interface.
- Access control session activation trend: The x-axis displays up to 2 hours of data at 5-minute intervals (a total of 24 cells), providing historical analytics excluding the viewing date.
- Daily server access/command analytics: The x-axis displays up to 2 weeks of data at daily intervals (a total of 14 cells), showing the number of server connections and the total number of commands on separate lines.
- Daily DB access/query analytics: The x-axis displays up to 2 weeks of data at daily intervals (a total of 14 cells), showing the number of DB connections and the total number of queries on separate lines.
If required, check the metrics using the following features at the top right of each graph:
