Create a Monitoring Domain

This chapter describes how to create a monitoring domain for deploying GigaVUE V Series Nodes and GigaVUE V Series Proxy in Prism environment through GigaVUE-FM. You must establish a connection between GigaVUE-FM and Prism. Creating a monitoring domain in GigaVUE-FM allows you to establish a connection between your environment and GigaVUE-FM.

GigaVUE-FM provides you the flexibility to connect to multiple clusters.

Note:  To configure the monitoring domain and launch the fabric components in Nutanix Prism, you must be a user with Admin role or a user with write access to the Cluster Management category.

To create a Monitoring Domain:

  1. Go to Inventory > VIRTUAL > Nutanix and then click Monitoring Domain. The Monitoring Domain page appears.
  2. On the Monitoring Domain page, click the New button. The Monitoring Domain Configuration page appears.
