### **Add Custom Instance Links**

Custom links can also be added to the instance details panel. This will help you to provide shortcuts to information about the instance, such as health, logs, etc.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: Custom instance links are currently not supported for Kubernetes resources..
{% endhint %}

If the public IP address of the instance is available, it is used to resolve these links. Otherwise, a private IP is used. The default port is 80 and to change the port follow the instructions below:

1. Click "**Links**" and click "**Add Section**" button to add custom instance links.

* Enter text for the new **Section heading** in the text box.
* In the **Links** text box, enter the text that you want to display

### **Designate a Traffic Guard Cluster**

1. Click "**Traffic Guards**" and "**Add Traffic Guard**" button to designate a traffic guard cluster as shown in the below image:
