Create Monitoring Domain

You must establish a connection between GigaVUE‑FM and your Azure environment before you can perform the configuration steps. Creating a monitoring domain in GigaVUE-FM allows you to establish a connection between your Azure environment and GigaVUE-FM. After establishing a connection, you will be able to use GigaVUE‑FM to specify a launch configuration for the G-vTAP Controllers, GigaVUE V Series Proxy, and GigaVUE V Series Nodes in the specified VNet and Resource Groups. GigaVUE‑FM connects to Azure using either an Application ID with the client secret or the MSI method of authentication. After the connection establishment, GigaVUE‑FM launches the G-vTAP Controller, GigaVUE V Series Proxy, and GigaVUE V Series 2 Node.

To create an Azure monitoring domain in GigaVUE‑FM:

  1. Go to Inventory > VIRTUAL > Azure, and then click Monitoring Domain. The Monitoring Domain page appears.
  2. In the Monitoring Domain page, click New. The Azure Monitoring Domain Configuration wizard appears.
  3. Enter or select the appropriate information for the monitoring domain as described in the following table.

    Field

    		Description

    Monitoring Domain

    An alias used to identify the monitoring domain.

    Use V Series 2

    		Select Yes for V Series 2 configuration.

    Traffic Acquisition Method

    Select a Tapping method. The available options are:

    ■  G-vTAP: If you select G-vTAP as the tapping method, the traffic is acquired from the G-vTAP Agents installed on your standard VMs in the Resource Group or in the Scale Sets. Then the acquired traffic is forwarded to the GigaVUE V Series nodes. You must configure the G-vTAP Controller to monitor the G-vTAP Agents.
    ■  Customer Orchestrated Source: If you use select Customer Orchestrated Source as the tapping method, you can select the tunnel as a source where the traffic is directly tunneled to GigaVUE V Series nodes without deploying G-vTAP Agents or G-vTAP controllers.

    Note:  Select the Traffic Acquisition Method as Customer Orchestrated Source if you wish to use Observability Gateway (AMX) application.

    Traffic Acquisition Tunnel MTU

    The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is the maximum size of each packet that the tunnel endpoint can carry from the G-vTAP Agent to the GigaVUE V Series node.

    For VXLAN, the default value is 1450. The G-vTAP Agent tunnel MTU should be 50 bytes less than the agent's destination interface MTU size.

    Use FM to Launch Fabric

    Select Yes to Configure GigaVUE Fabric Components in GigaVUE-FM or select No to Configure GigaVUE Fabric Components in Azure.

    Connections

    Note:  You can add multiple connections in a monitoring domain. Refer to Create Azure Credentials for more information on adding multiple Application ID with Client Secret authentication credentials.

    Name

    An alias used to identify the connection.

    Credential

    Select an Azure credential. For detailed information, refer to Create Azure Credentials.

    Subscription ID

    A unique alphanumeric string that identifies your Azure subscription.

    Region

    Azure region for the monitoring domain. For example, West India.

    Resource Groups

    Select the Resource Groups of the corresponding VMs to monitor.

    Note:  This field is only available if you select G-vTAP as the Traffic Acquisition Method.

  4. Click Save and the Azure Fabric Launch Configuration wizard appears.

Managing Monitoring Domain

You can view the details of the monitoring domain that are created in the list view. The list view details can be viewed based on:

You can also filter the monitoring domain based on a specified criterion. In the monitoring domain page there are two filter options as follows:

■   Right filter - Click the Filter button on the right to filter the monitoring domain based on a specific criterion.
■   Left filter - Click the to filter the monitoring domain based on the domain and connections. You can click + to create a new monitoring domain. This filter once applied also works even when the tabs are swapped.

To edit or delete a specific monitoring domain, select the monitoring domain, click the ellipses .

When you click a monitoring domain, you can view details of it in a split view of the window. In the split view window, you can view the details such as Configuration, Launch Configuration and V Series configuration.

Monitoring Domain

The list view shows the following information in the monitoring domain page:

■   Monitoring Domain
■   Connections
■   Tunnel MTU
■   Acquisition Method
■   Centralized connection
■   Management Network

Note:  Click the to select the columns that should appear in the list view.

Use the following buttons to manage your Monitoring Domain:

Actions

You can select a monitoring domain and then perform the following options:

● Edit Monitoring Domain- Select a monitoring domain and then click Edit Monitoring domain to update the configuration.
● Delete Domain - You can select a monitoring domain or multiple monitoring domains to delete them.
● Edit Fabric -You can select one fabric or multiple fabrics of the same monitoring domain to edit a fabric. You cannot choose different fabrics of multiple monitoring domains at the same time and edit their fabrics
● Deploy Fabric - -You can select a monitoring domain to deploy a fabric, you cannot choose multiple monitoring domains at the same time to deploy fabrics. This option is only enabled when there is No FABRIC (launch configuration) for that specific monitoring domain and GigaVUE-FM orchestration is enabled.. You must create a fabric in the monitoring domain, if the option is disabled
● Upgrade Fabric-You can select a monitoring domain or multiple monitoring domains to upgrade the fabric. You can upgrade the V-Series nodes using this option.
● Delete Fabric- You can delete all the fabrics associated with the monitoring domain of the selected Fabric.

 

Filter

Filters the monitoring domain based on the list view options that are configured:

● Tunnel MTU
● Acquisition Method
● Centralised Connection
● Management Subnet

You can view the filters applied on the top of the monitoring domain page as a button. You can remove the filters by closing the button.
