To initiate an exception request to enable this integration for your organization, email [support@ddog-gov.com](mailto:support@ddog-gov.com). {% /alert %} {% /callout %} ## Overview{% #overview %} Alibaba Cloud SLB (Server Load Balancer) is a managed load balancing service that distributes incoming traffic across multiple backend servers to improve application availability and scalability. This integration allows you to monitor connection counts, traffic throughput, packet rates, request QPS, response times, HTTP status codes, and backend server health for your SLB instances by collecting metrics from the Alibaba Cloud SLB service. ## Setup{% #setup %} ### Installation{% #installation %} After you set up the [Alibaba Cloud](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/alibaba_cloud.md) integration, ensure that the SLB service is included in your Alibaba Cloud monitoring configuration. ## Data Collected{%
