  1. Creating credentials.
  2. Configuring the integration.
  3. Adding a discovery profile.

Step 1: Create a credential

To create credentials:

  1. Select a client from the All Clients list.
  2. Go to Setup > Accounts > Clients.
  3. On the client’s Credentials tab, add the credential information.

Step 2: Configure the integration

    • Name
    • IP address
    • Credentials: Select an existing credential or create a credential.
  5. Click Install.

Step 3: Add a discovery profile

To add a discovery profile:

    • Profile details
      • Profile name
      • Host name
      • Select Management Profile.
    • Filter Criteria:
      • Select Smart Filters to filter resources based on the resources types and select All Resources to discover all resource types.
        Note: Unselect the Virtual Machines option if you do not want to discover VMs.
      • Select Resource Filters to filter resources based on resource attributes.
        Note: See Regular Expressions in OpsRamp Help to view details on filtering resources using logical operator Regex.
    • Perform actions: Select Manage Device if the resource needs to be managed.
    • Discovery schedule: To schedule the discovery process, select Discovery Schedule, select the preferred Recurrence Pattern, and then click Save.

    Discovery triggers based on the scheduled time. A new resource type added to Cisco HyperFlex is automatically discovered and managed by OpsRamp.

  3. From the Discovery Profiles section, select the profile and then click Scan Now to scan Cisco HyperFlex.

Cisco HyperFlex resource is successfully integrated and appears in the Cisco HyperFlex category in the Infrastructure page.

What to do next

After a discovery profile is created, you can do the following:

  • View the integration: Go to Infrastructure > Resources.
  • Assign monitoring templates to the resource.
  • Validate that the resource was successfully added to OpsRamp.

Assign Monitoring templates to the resource

To assign a template to a Cisco HyperFlex resource:

  1. Go to Infrastructure > Resources.
  2. From Resources page of Cisco HyperFlex, click the desired resource name > resource Details > Monitors > Template.
  3. From the Templates screen, click +Assign Templates.
  4. From Apply Templates, Select Templates > Available templates, select the desired templates.
  5. Click Assign. The Templates screen displays the selected templates.

Validation The gateway monitors the application using the assigned templates and displays the results in a graphical format.

To confirm the monitoring of Cisco HyperFlex device, review the following:

  • The graph plotted for each metric in the template.
  • Alerts generated for metrics in the template by giving thresholds.
