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

Configure Pro.Monitor to activate CA UIM plugin:

This will make alerts and metrics available for collection by UIM

CA UIM: Install and deploy promonitor probe.

It will connect to Pro.Monitor to collect available metrics and alarms

It will inject alarms and metrics in UIM's DB via the message bus.

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.

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

Deploy UIM dedicated Probe

Prerequisites:

UIM promonitor probe is a Java application, you must deploy a jre probe before on the same robot

Download the promonitor probe here: https://agentil.box.com/s/pdoe91amgq5gegdd9u9okx29l743s9do

Open the Web admin console or the Infrastructure Manager

Go in the Archive view/tree

Open the host holding the probe archives and select import in Action/Contextual menu

Select the probe archive and apply

It will appear in the list of probes

To install the probe on the selected robot:

Web Console: select the probe in the archive and select deploy in the contextual menu

Infra. Manager: Drag&Drop the probe on the selected robot

The probe will be deployed on the robot and ready for configuration

Right click on the probe in the robot and press Raw configure or Configure...

Set the fields accordingly:

port: Pro.Monitor port number (HTTP or HTTPS)

hostname: Pro.Monitor's host

secureConnection: Set to true to use HTTPS

logLevel: 1 - Low, 2 - Medium, 3 - High
