This topic describes how to add the DNS server address and security group rules to a Windows ECS to ensure successful download of the Agent installation package and successful monitoring data collection.
The DNS server address of an ECS can be modified in either of the following ways: Windows GUI or management console. Choose a method based on your habits.
DNS and security group configuration are intended for the primary NIC.

- In the upper left corner, select a region and project.
- Click Service List in the upper left corner. Choose Compute > Elastic Cloud Server.
On the ECS console, click the target ECS name to view its details.
- In the ECS Information area of the Summary tab, click the VPC name. Figure 2 shows an example.
