Create a Monitoring Session

GigaVUE‑FM automatically collects inventory data on all target instances available in your cloud environment. You can design your monitoring session to include or exclude the instances that you want to monitor. You can also choose to monitor egress, ingress, or all traffic.

When a new target instance is added to your cloud environment, GigaVUE‑FM automatically detects and adds the instance to your monitoring session. Similarly, when an instance is removed, it updates the monitoring sessions.

For the connections without UCT-Vs, there are no targets that are automatically selected. You can use Customer Orchestrated Source in the monitoring session to accept a tunnel from anywhere.

You can create multiple monitoring sessions per monitoring domain.

To create a new monitoring session:

  1. Go to Traffic > Virtual > Orchestrated Flows and select your cloud platform. The Monitoring Sessions page appears.
  2. Select New to open the Create a New Monitoring Session page.
  3. On the page, enter the appropriate information for the monitoring session as described in the following table.
