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 VPN Gateway is an internet-based service that establishes an encrypted connection between a VPC and your data center, another VPC, or a local network over IPsec-VPN or SSL-VPN. Use this integration to monitor bandwidth utilization, IPsec and SSL tunnel state, BGP negotiation state, and traffic across your VPN gateways, connections, and tunnels. ## Setup{% #setup %} ### Installation{% #installation %} After you set up the [Alibaba Cloud](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/alibaba_cloud.md) integration, ensure that the VPN Gateway service is included in your Alibaba Cloud monitoring configuration. ## Data Collected{% #data-collected %} ### Metrics{% #metrics %} | | | | | **alibabacloud.vpn_gateway.in_bandwidth_utilization.value**(gauge) | Inbound
