Create Images with Agent Installed

If you want to avoid downloading and installing the G-vTAP agents every time there is a new instance to be monitored, you can save the G-vTAP agent running on an instance as a private AMI. When a new G-vTAP agent is launched in an instance, GigaVUE-FM automatically updates the number of monitoring instances in the monitoring session.

To save the G-vTAP agent as an AMI:

1.   From the EC2 console, right click the instance.
2. Click Image > Create Image.

To launch the G-vTAP agent AMI:

1.   Follow steps 1 to 11 as described in G-vTAP Agents to launch the G-vTAP agent AMI.
2. In that procedure:
a. Choose t2 medium as the instance type.
b. When you add a device, click Add Device and add another ENI which acts as a mirror subnet.
