Configure Monitoring Session

GigaVUE‑FM collects inventory data on all V Series nodes deployed in your environment through vCenter connections. You can design your monitoring session to include or exclude the target VMs you want to monitor. You can also choose to monitor egress, ingress, or all traffic.

When a new target VM is added to your environment, GigaVUE‑FM automatically detects it. If the detected VM matches the defined selection criteria, your monitoring session displays it.

To design your monitoring session, refer to the following sections:
