    Field

    Description

    Monitoring Domain

    A name for the monitoring domain.

    Note:  You can only view and delete the existing configuration for V Series node 1. You cannot create and perform any other actions on the existing configuration for V Series node 1 as the features are deprecated from GigaVUE Fabric Manager (FM).

    Alias

    An alias used to identify the monitoring domain.

    URL

    The authentication URL is the Keystone URL of the OpenStack cloud. This IP address must be DNS resolvable.

    Refer to the OpenStack User Manual for more information on retrieving the authentication URL from the OpenStack.

    User Domain Name

    The domain name of your OpenStack authentication domain.

    Note:  If you are using a separate domain for AUTH, enter that domain name as User Domain Name. If you are not using a separate domain, you can use the same domain for User and Project Domain Name.

    Project Domain Name

    The domain name of your OpenStack project.

    Project Name

    The name of the project used for OpenStack authentication.

    Region

    keystone endpoint-list or openstack endpoint list or looking at the RC file in OpenStack to view your credentials.

    Username

    The username used to connect to your OpenStack cloud.

    Note:  If you are using OVS mirroring, you must belong to a role that meets the OpenStack minimum requirements for OVS Mirroring. Refer to OVS Mirroring Prerequisites for more information.

    Password

    The password of your OpenStack cloud.

    Traffic Acquisition Method

    Select the type of agent used to capture traffic for monitoring:

    ● UCT-V: If you select UCT-V as the tapping method, the traffic is acquired from the UCT-Vs installed on the VMs. You must configure the UCT-V Controller to monitor the UCT-Vs.
    ● OVS Mirroring: If you select OVS Mirroring as your tapping method, the traffic is acquired from the UCT-Vs installed on the hypervisors. For details, refer to Open vSwitch (OVS) Mirroring. You must configure the UCT-V Controller to monitor the UCT-Vs.
    ● Customer Orchestrated Source: If you select Customer Orchestrated Source as the tapping method, you can use tunnels as a source where the traffic is directly tunneled to V Series nodes without deploying UCT-Vs or UCT-V Controllers.

    Projects to Monitor (Only for OVS Mirroring traffic acquisition method)

    This field only appears for OVS Mirroring traffic acquisition method.

    ● Click the Get Project List to view the list of projects.

    Note:  The Get Project List button will only work if all the OpenStack credentials have been provided. Refer to OVS Mirroring Prerequisites.

    ● Select projects that you want to monitor from the list.
    ● You can click Select None to clear existing selections or Select All to add all available projects to the connection configuration.

    Traffic Acquisition Tunnel MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)

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

    • For GRE, the default value is 1450.
    • For VXLAN, the default value is 1400. However, ensure that the UCT-V tunnel MTU is 50 bytes less than the default MTU size.
  4. Select Save. The OpenStack Fabric Launch Configuration page appears. For details, refer to Configure GigaVUE Fabric Components in GigaVUE-FM.

Note:  If GigaVUE‑FM fails to connect to OpenStack, an error message is displayed specifying the cause of failure. The connection status is also displayed in Audit Logs. For details, refer to Audit logs track the changes and activities that occur in the virtual nodes due to user actions. You can filter the logs to view specific information..

Managing Monitoring Domain
