Pre-requisite
To connect to a Alibaba account, you will need an AccessKey pair (AccessKey ID and AccessKey secret). The process to get one can be found here: How to get your API AccessKeys
Create the Cloud Account
To start importing usage data for a Alibaba Cloud account you need to create an Alibaba Cloud Account in Cloud Ctrl.
To add a new cloud account go to Settings > Cloud Accounts > Create
The New Cloud Account window will appear, select Alibaba Account.
You can then enter the details for your new Alibaba cloud account.
Once you click submit you should show a dialog appear telling you if you connection is successful, if there is an error try to re-enter your API by checking for leading spaces.
Once connected your data can take up to 24 hrs to complete the initial import process, so please give it some time before relying on the data displayed in the portal.
