Create Raw Endpoint (VMware vCenter)

This topic provides instructions on configuring a RAW Endpoint (REP) in the Monitoring Session.

Rules and Notes

  • Ingress REP works only when you select the Traffic Acquisition Method as Customer Orchestrated Source while configuring the Monitoring Domain.
    For details, refer to Create Monitoring Domain for VMware ESXi

  • The maximum number of links that can egress from any endpoint in V Series is four.

Consideration

When deploying GigaVUE V Series Nodes in the Monitoring Domain, the number of interfaces varies based on the Traffic Acquisition Method. See the table below for details.

Configure Raw Endpoint in Monitoring Session

Raw End Point (REP) is used to pass traffic from an interface. REP is used to ingress data from a physical interface attached to GigaVUE V Series Nodes. You can optionally use this end point to send traffic to the applications deployed in the monitoring session.

To configure,

  1. From the New expand menu, drag and drop New Raw Endpoint to the graphical workspace.
  2. On the new raw endpoint icon, select the menu button and select Details.
    The Raw quick view page appears.
  3. Enter the Alias and Description details for the Raw End Point and select Save.

  4. Perform the following steps to deploy the Monitoring Session after adding the Raw Endpoint:

    1. From the Actions drop-down list on the TRAFFIC PROCESSING page, select Deploy. The Deploy Monitoring Session dialog box appears.

    2. Select the V Series Nodes to deploy the Monitoring Session.

    3. From the drop-down menu of the selected individual V Series Nodes, select the interfaces for each REPs and the TEPs deployed in the Monitoring Session.

    4. Select Deploy.

  5. Select Export to download all or selected V Series Nodes in the CSV and XLSX formats.
