How to install OpManager in AWS?

Installing OpManager in AWS helps in ensuring world class network management for your device while eliminating the need for a physical server for monitoring.

You can use OpManager in AWS using one of the 2 methods:

 

By purchasing and running OpManager AMI from AWS store

Purchase OpManager AMI from here.

  • While purchasing, you will be prompted to select the EC2 instance of your choice based on certain preconfiguration.
  • Select the required instance and launch AMI. Then, you can login to OpManager with 'admin' as username and AMI's instance id as password.

Note: When you access the OpManager using the public IP/DNS address, note that the "Public IP/DNS address" changes when the instance is stopped/terminated. As in a network, devices need to forward syslogs & traps to the OpManager server, the public IP has to be updated in the end devices every time it changes. Hence it is recommended to use an elastic IP address for seamless monitoring . For more details on Elastic IP address click here.

By installing OpManager in a separate EC2 instance

Pre-requisites

Before installing OpManager in AWS, ensure that you meet the following pre-requisites

  1. Say if you are planning to manage up to 250 devices using OpManager, we recommend you to have the following instance configurations
    • EC2 instance type m4.xlarge or above
    • OS - Windows 10/8/7 or Windows server 2008 or above (up to 2019 supported )
    • 20 GB memory space (minimum)
    Note: The above specified are the minimum requirements. You may have to change the configurations according to the number of devices you are monitoring and additional integrations / modules ( such as firewall, IP address management etc ). To know more about creating instance click here.
  2. Ensure that the instance's Public IP/DNS is not blocked by any firewall and is accessible to all devices in your network.
  3. Ensure that the required security ports are available for use.

Steps to install and run amazon from EC2 instance

  1. Remotely connect to your EC2 instance
  2. In that instance, open your web browser
  3. Download and install OpManager.
  4. Login to OpManager using username as admin and password as admin.

Important Note:
Ensure that the following ports in your OpManager instance are not blocked for proper functioning of OpManager and its add-ons (this step is a must for running OpManager from AMI as well as for running OpManager from an EC2 instance):
