Hyper-V Element Configurations
Outside of vSyncSync-related management, you may want to change the way vSphere Hyper-V Elements (i.e., VMware vCenter servers, ESX servers, Hyper-V servers and VMs) are displayed in Uptime Infrastructure Monitor, as well as test that their data collection is functioning correctly.
Hyper-V Element Profiles
The System Profile section on a VMware vCenter server’s Info page allows you to modify its descriptive information in Uptime Infrastructure Monitor, change how Uptime Infrastructure Monitor communicates with it, and how often it is polled for metric data.
vCenter Server Profile Settings
The following settings define a VMware vCenter server profile in Uptime Infrastructure Monitor:
| Sync Display Name | A switch the enables and disables whether the Display Name is used to identify this server in Sync. | ||
Display Name | The name used for the VMware vCenter Hyper-V server Element throughout the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor interface (e.g., Infrastructure). | ||
| Sync Host Name | A switch the enables and disables whether the Host Name is used to identify this server in Sync. | ||
Host Name | The actual host name of the server. | ||
Description | An optional description for the server that is used in different parts of the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor interface (e.g., in tool tips in Global Scan and Infrastructure). | ||
| Use Uptime Agent Global Configuration | A switch that enables and disables ion to allow the Monitoring Station to detect systems that have the Agent installed on them. Select the Use Uptime Agent Global Configuration check box if this information is configured (see Configuring Global Data Collection Methods for more information); otherwise complete the following options: | ||
| Port | Accept or modify the default port through which Uptime Infrastructure Monitor connects to the server. | ||
| Use SSL | Select this checkbox if the Element securely communicates with the Monitoring Station using SSL (HTTPS). | ||
| Parent Group | Group within Uptime Infrastructure Monitor where this server resides. | ||
| Custom Fields | Available for users to customize with identification detail. | ||
| Enable Monitoring | Monitored Status | A switch that enables and disables monitoring for the server in Uptime Infrastructure Monitor. When disabled, the Element no longer appears in Global Scan, and its child ESX servers and their respective VMs also cease data collection. | |
Storage Polling Interval | The frequency that the VMware vCenter server collects storage-related metric data. | ||
Basic Performance Data Polling Interval | The frequency that the VMware vCenter Hyper-V server collects performance data for all of its components (datacenters, clusters, resource pools, vApps). | ||
Username | The VMware administrator username used to access the VMware vCenter server. | ||
Password | The password required for administrator access. | ||
Port | The port through which Uptime Infrastructure Monitor communicates with the VMware vCenter server. | ||
Connection Status | A standard Uptime Infrastructure Monitor status indicator for the VMware vCenter server. | ||
Number of Processes to Retrieve | The total number of processes within the Hyper-V server that are collected each time polling occurs. | ||
Viewing and Editing a
vCenterHyper-V Server Profile
To modify the display details for a VMware vCenter Hyper-V server Element in Uptime Infrastructure Monitor, or modify the rate at which it gathers metric data for its component resources, do the following:
- In the Infrastructure panel, click the gear icon beside the VMware vCenter Hyper-V server, then in the pop-menu, select View.
- On the VMware vCenter Hyper-V Element profile page, click Edit System Profile and Collection.
- In the Edit System Profile pop-up window, make all required changes. For more information about the vCenter Hyper-V server, see 7.8 - Hyper-V Element Configurations.
- Click Save.
