Deployment

User permissions

For the Management Pack to work, it requires the creation of a new user with admin privileges in your UptimeDC environment.

Conection requirements

Make sure you have a working connection between your chosen Cloud Proxy and UptimeDC environment. Also check connection to registry.indevops.com on port 80 and 443.

If any of those are blocked, please contact your network administrator.

Installing Management Pack

Pre-pull adapter's container image

Adapter's container must be pre-pulled on cloud proxy instances.

1. SSH as root to cloud-proxies belonging to the collector group where adapter is to be ran.
2. Login to docker registry using docker login registry.indevops.com.
   • Use Harbor robot account designated for that deployment - ask ASI team to generate a token.
3. Pull container image using docker pull <IMAGE NAME>.
   • Image name can be found on release page for a given version of the management pack.

Install PAK file

1. Download PAK file for version matching the pre-pulled adapter container image.
   • PAK file can be found on release page for a given version of the management pack.
2. Login to VMware Aria Operations and go to 'Data Sources > Integrations > Repository > Add' and upload the PAK file, selecting both:
   • Install the PAK file even if it is already installed
   • Ignore the PAK file signature checking
