Default Monitoring Configurations

VMware-NSX-T has default Global Device Management Policies, Global Templates, Global Monitors and Global Metrics in OpsRamp. You can customize these default monitoring configurations as per your business requirement by cloning respective Global Templates and Global Device Management Policies. It is recommended to clone them before installing the application to avoid noise alerts and data.

  1. Default Global Device Management Policies

    You can find the Device Management Policy for each Native Type at Setup > Resources > Device Management Policies. Search with suggested name in global scope. Each Device Management Policy follows below naming convention:

    {appName nativeType - version}

    Ex: vmware-nsx-t NsxT Manager Cluster - 2 (i.e, appName = vmware-nsx-t, nativeType = NsxT Manager Cluster, version = 2)

  2. Default Global Templates

    You can find the Global Templates for each Native Type at Setup > Monitoring > Templates. Search with suggested names in global scope. Each template follows below naming convention:

    {appName nativeType 'Template' - version}

    Ex: vmware-nsx-t NsxT Manager Cluster Template - 2 (i.e, appName = vmware-nsx-t, nativeType = NsxT Manager Cluster, version = 2)

  3. Default Global Monitors

    You can find the Global Monitors for each Native Type at Setup > Monitoring > Monitors. Search with suggested name in global scope. Each Monitors follows below naming convention:

    {monitorKey appName nativeType - version}

    Ex: NsxT Manager Cluster Monitor vmware-nsx-t NsxT Manager Cluster 2 (i.e, monitorKey = NsxT Manager Cluster Monitor, appName = vmware-nsx-t, nativeType = NsxT Manager Cluster, version = 2)
