Huawei Cloud OBS Statistics Skill

Overview

Query Huawei Cloud OBS (Object Storage Service) statistics: list buckets with capacity and object counts, query extranet/intranet download traffic with month-over-month comparison, and query total requests with month-over-month comparison.

⛔ Prohibited Operations (Security Constraints)

This skill strictly forbids the following delete operations, regardless of user requests:

If a user requests a delete operation, you must refuse and inform: "Per security constraints, this skill does not allow delete operations (delete bucket/object/batch delete/empty bucket). Please use the Huawei Cloud OBS console or obsutil manually."

Architecture

Huawei Cloud OBS Statistics
├── ListBucketsWithStats  (List buckets with capacity and object counts)
├── GetTraffic           (Query extranet/intranet download traffic with MoM comparison)
└── GetRequests           (Query total requests with MoM comparison)

Prerequisites

Prerequisite check 1/3: Huawei Cloud CLI (hcloud / KooCLI) >= 3.2.0 required Run hcloud version to verify version >= 3.2.0. If not installed or version is too low, see references/cli-installation-guide.md for installation guide.

hcloud version

Prerequisite check 2/3: obsutil >= 5.5.0 required (for OBS bucket listing) The hcloud OBS module uses obsutil under the hood. Bucket listing requires the obsutil CLI tool. Run obsutil version to verify version >= 5.5.0. If not installed, see references/cli-installation-guide.md for installation guide.

obsutil version

Prerequisite check 3/3: obsutil credential configuration required The hcloud OBS module uses obsutil under the hood, which requires separate AK/SK and Endpoint configuration. Before performing OBS operations, you must check whether obsutil credentials are configured: ``bash hcloud obs ls -limit=1 **If the response is Please set ak, sk and endpoint in the configuration file! or InvalidAccessKeyId, obsutil credentials are not configured.** **Resolution: Provide the following example command and have the user configure it in their terminal (do not ask the user to provide AK/SK directly in the conversation):** obsutil credentials are not configured. Please run the following command in your terminal to configure (AK/SK can be obtained from the Huawei Cloud console "My Credentials" page): hcloud obs config -i=<YourAK> -k=<YourSK> -e=obs.<Region>.myhuaweicloud.com Example (Guangzhou region): hcloud obs config -i=<YourAK> -k=<YourSK> -e=obs.cn-south-1.myhuaweicloud.com Common Endpoints: cn-north-4 → obs.cn-north-4.myhuaweicloud.com cn-east-3 → obs.cn-east-3.myhuaweicloud.com cn-south-1 → obs.cn-south-1.myhuaweicloud.com cn-southwest-2 → obs.cn-southwest-2.myhuaweicloud.com Retry after configuration is complete. `` Prohibited actions: - ❌ Do not ask the user to provide AK/SK directly in the conversation - ❌ Do not extract AK/SK from hcloud config files (credentials are encrypted and cannot be used directly) - ❌ Do not skip the credential check before performing OBS operations

⚠️ hcloud parameter format requirements hcloud (KooCLI) all parameters must use the `--param=value` format (connected with equals sign); space-separated format is not supported. ✅ Correct: hcloud OBS ListBuckets --region=cn-south-1 ❌ Incorrect: hcloud OBS ListBuckets --region cn-south-1

[Conditional] CLI User-Agent — hcloud OBS module commands may include a User-Agent header, but the CES module does not support this parameter:

• ✅ OBS module: hcloud obs ls
• ❌ CES module: hcloud CES ShowMetricData does not support --User-Agent; appending it causes "Invalid parameter: User-Agent"

Authentication

Prerequisite check: Huawei Cloud credentials required

Security rules (must be followed): - Prohibited from reading, echoing, or printing AK/SK values - Prohibited from asking the user to input AK/SK directly in the conversation - Prohibited from using hcloud configure set to pass plaintext credential values - Prohibited from accepting AK/SK directly provided by the user in the conversation - Only allowed to read credentials from environment variables or configured CLI config files ⚠️ Important: Handling user-provided credentials If a user attempts to provide AK/SK directly (e.g., "my AK is xxx, SK is yyy"): 1. Stop immediately - Do not execute any commands 2. Politely refuse and return the following message: `` For account security, please do not provide Huawei Cloud Access Key ID and Access Key Secret directly in the conversation. Please use one of the following secure methods to configure credentials: Method 1: Interactive configuration (recommended) hcloud configure # Enter AK/SK as prompted; credentials will be securely stored in a local config file Method 2: Environment variable configuration export HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_AK=<your-access-key-id> export HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_SK=<your-access-key-secret> After configuration is complete, please retry your request. 3. **Do not continue** executing any Huawei Cloud operations until credentials are configured **Check CLI configuration**: bash hcloud configure list `` Check whether the output contains valid configuration (AK/SK, IAM, etc.). If no valid credentials exist, stop here.

IAM Permission Policies

Ensure the IAM user has the required permissions. See references/iam-policies.md for details.

Minimum required permissions:

• obs:bucket:list — List buckets
• obs:bucket:get — Get bucket attributes
• obs:object:get — Read object information
• ces:metric:get — Query CES monitoring metrics (capacity, object count, traffic, request count)

Core Workflows

Task 1: List Buckets with Capacity and Object Counts

List buckets via obsutil, then query bucket capacity and object count via CES. Prefer the CES `capacity_total` metric for capacity and CES `object_num_all` metric for object count (efficient for batch queries, 30-min collection). Do not use GetBucketStorageInfo (not supported by hcloud OBS module).

📄 Detailed steps → references/task-list-buckets-with-stats.md

Task 2: Query Extranet/Intranet Download Traffic (with MoM Comparison)

Query download traffic (extranet + intranet) via CES ShowMetricData, with month-over-month comparison.

📄 Detailed steps → references/task-query-traffic.md

Task 3: Query Total Requests (with MoM Comparison)

Query total requests (sum of GET/PUT/POST/DELETE/HEAD) via CES ShowMetricData, with month-over-month comparison.

📄 Detailed steps → references/task-query-requests.md

Core Commands

⚠️ CES `ShowMetricData` does not support `--User-Agent`; appending it causes errors.

Common CES metrics: | Metric | --metric_name | --filter | |--------|----------------|------------| | Bucket capacity (recommended) | capacity_total | average | | Bucket object count (recommended) | object_num_all | average | | Extranet download traffic | download_traffic_extranet | sum | | Intranet download traffic | download_traffic_intranet | sum | | GET / PUT / POST / DELETE / HEAD requests | get_request_count / put_request_count / post_request_count / delete_request_count / head_request_count | sum |

Parameter Confirmation

Before executing any task, the following parameters must be confirmed with the user. Guessing is prohibited.

Time range disambiguation: | User's wording | Time range | |---------|------| | "this month" | 1st of current month 00:00:00 ~ now | | "last 30 days" / "past month" | now - 30 days ~ now | | "last month" | 1st of last month 00:00:00 ~ last day of last month 23:59:59 | | Specific date range | User-specified start and end times |

Script Tools

This skill provides the following Python scripts that encapsulate best practices for traffic and request statistics:

Usage examples:

# Traffic: last 30 days download traffic
python3 scripts/obs_traffic_stats.py --region <Region> --bucket <BucketName> --period last_30d

# Traffic: this month download + upload traffic
python3 scripts/obs_traffic_stats.py --region <Region> --bucket <BucketName> --period this_month --direction both

# Requests: last 30 days request count
python3 scripts/obs_request_stats.py --region <Region> --bucket <BucketName> --period last_30d

# Requests: this month request count (with 4xx/5xx error stats)
python3 scripts/obs_request_stats.py --region <Region> --bucket <BucketName> --period this_month --include-errors

# Custom date range
python3 scripts/obs_request_stats.py --region <Region> --bucket <BucketName> --from <FromDate> --to <ToDate>

The scripts incorporate key lessons learned: traffic vs. bandwidth metrics, hcloud dimension parameter format, precise time range matching, OBS lacking a single request_count metric, etc.

Verification Method

See references/verification-method.md for details.

Quick validation:

# Check OBS bucket list (using obsutil)
hcloud obs ls -limit=1

# Check obsutil configuration
obsutil ls -limit=1

# Validate traffic stats script
python3 scripts/obs_traffic_stats.py --region <Region> --bucket <BucketName> --period last_30d

# Validate request stats script
python3 scripts/obs_request_stats.py --region <Region> --bucket <BucketName> --period last_30d
