Unified Infrastructure Manager Plugin

Purpose

The Unified Infrastructure Manager plugin gives the possibility to the CA UIM’s “promonitor” probe to collect metrics, alarms and metadata

Once active, this plugin will collect all generated alerts, metrics and metadata and store them waiting for the probe to collect them

To limit memory usage the number of element temporally stored is limited

Configuration

Some configuration needs to be done in Pro.Monitor, but also at CA UIM side

Pro.Monitor

From the plugin menu, select type Unified Infrastructure Manager and create the plugin, this will open plugin configuration screen

Fill the plugin settings form:

Enabled: To enable or disable the plugin

Name: The name of the plugin to display in the list of plugins

IP(s) allowed to collect: The IP(s) of the robot(s) with a promonitor probe installed that are allowed to collect data from Pro.Monitor

Max message queue size: The maximum number of alerts or metrics waiting in the output buffer. Used to limit the memory usage if events are created faster than consumed.

CA UIM

Pro.Monitor can send metrics and alerts to CA UIM. This is possible via a dedicated UIM probe that will pull data from Pro.Monitor and inject it in UIM database.

Deploy the promonitor probe on a robot

Edit the probe configuration with raw edit

Set Pro.Monitor server host and port

Start the probe

Note: If the promonitor probe is deployed on the same robot than sapbasis_agentil probe, the former configuration file will be automatically uploaded in Pro.Monitor and available in the Snapshots menu

Import configuration from sapbasis_agentil to Pro.Monitor

From the snapshot menu, upload sapbasis_agentil.json file like any regular snapshot file.

Apply the uploaded configuration. This will replace any existing configuration

Note: This operation will not replace the current licences of Pro.Monitor
