Microsoft Hyper-V Servers

Introduction:

This section is common to all the editions of IT360, as per the below constraints;

Professional Edition
Enterprise Edition [Applicable to Probes only, and not applicable / relevant to the Central Server, since the configuration of the monitors happens only at the Probe level. However, you may see these discovered monitors from the Central Server]
MSP Edition [Applicable to Probes only, and not applicable / relevant to the Central Server, since the configuration of the monitors happens only at the Probe level. However, you may see these discovered monitors from the Central Server]

Follow the steps given below to create a new Microsoft Hyper-V Server monitor;

Go to 'Admin -> Servers & Applications' and click on New Monitor link.
From the Add Monitor of type drop down list, select Hyper-V Server, under Virtualization category.
Specify the Display Name of the Hyper-V server.
Enter the Host Name or IP Address of the Host, where the Hyper-V server is running.
Enter User Name and Password for authentication.
Select the Monitor Performance Metrics of Virtual Machines option, if you want IT360 to collect Performance metrics of VMs of this server.
Specify the Polling Interval, in minutes.
Choose the Grouping, to which you want to associate the Hyper-V server, from the combo box;
- In the case of Professional Edition, it is Business Service [optional]
- In the case of Enterprise Edition - Probe, it is Business Service [optional]
- In the case of MSP Edition - Probe, it is Customer and Site [mandatory]
Click Add Monitor(s). This discovers the Hyper-V server from the network and starts monitoring it.

To monitor a Hyper-V host, the user must have ‘Administrator’ privileges, to the root OS (Windows 2008 R2 and other supported Hyper-V versions).

If a Firewall is present between IT360 and the Hyper-V server, open ports 135, 443 and 1025 in the firewall, to enable access.
