Configure UCT-V in Azure

Notes:
  • You can deploy UCT-Vs using a third-party orchestrator on Linux and Windows platforms. For details, refer to Linux UCT-V Installation and Windows UCT-V Installation.
  • You can configure more than one UCT-V Controller for a UCT-V. If one UCT-V Controller goes down, the UCT-V registration happens through another active UCT-V Controller.

To register UCT-V after launching a Virtual Machine using a configuration file, follow these steps:

  1. Install the UCT-V on the Linux or Windows platform. For detailed instructions, refer to Linux UCT-V Installation and Windows UCT-V Installation.

  2. Log in to the UCT-V. For details, refer to Default Login Credentials.
  3. Create a local configuration file and enter the following custom data.
    • /etc/gigamon-cloud.conf is the local configuration file on the Linux platform.
    • C:\ProgramData\uctv\gigamon-cloud.conf is the local configuration file on the Windows platform.

    Copy
    Registration:
        groupName: <Monitoring Domain Name>
        subGroupName: <Connection Name>
        token: <Token>
        remoteIP: <IP address of the UCT-V Controller 1>, 
               <IP address of the UCT-V Controller 2>
        sourceIP: <IP address of UCT-V> (Optional Field)
        

    If you are using multiple interface in UCT-V and UCT-V Controller is not connected to the primary interface, then add the following to the above registration data:

    localInterface:<Interface to which UCT-V Controller is connected>
  4. Restart the UCT-V service.
    • Linux platform:
      $ sudo service uctv restart
    • Windows platform: Restart from the Task Manager.

The deployed UCT-V registers with the GigaVUE‑FM through the UCT-V Controller. After successful registration, the UCT-V sends heartbeat messages to GigaVUE‑FM every 30 seconds. If one heartbeat is missing, UCT-V status appears as Unhealthy. If more than five heartbeats fail to reach GigaVUE‑FM, then GigaVUE‑FM tries to reach the UCT-V. If that fails, then GigaVUE‑FM unregisters UCT-V and it is removed from GigaVUE‑FM.
