I’ve been playing with the Aria Operations Management Pack Builder over the last week, and have started another educational/tech-demo to integrate Aria Operations with Ubiquiti UniFi. This MP will give a quick overview of your UniFi environment, with interactive widgets. Selecting the UniFi device in the top left will populate the Uplink Graphs, Device Utilization…
My latest blog series has covered the creation of a custom management pack for Aria Operations to monitor phpIPAM, mostly as an educational / technical demo project.In this post we’ll cover the management pack installation and a showcase about the new dashboard we have to visualise the IP Addressing space, and how it links to…
Welcome back again!In Part 1 we covered how to authenticate to your API endpoint.In Part 2 we covered how to create API requests, turn the API responses into Aria Ops Objects, and configured the relationship hierarchy of those objects.In Part 3 we covered the MP Import & Configuration, then created some Views, Super Metrics and Dashboards to visualise the…
Welcome back again! In Part 1 we covered how to authenticate to your API endpoint.In Part 2 we covered how to create API requests, turn the API responses into Aria Ops Objects, and configured the relationship hierarchy of those objects.In this post we will build the MP, import it to Aria Operations and start to build some…
Welcome back to this Aria Operations Management Pack Builder series, in Part 1 we covered how to authenticate to your API endpoint. In this post we can get to the fun stuff. We’ll create some API calls to pull subnet and IP information from phpIPAM, and create some relationships (e.g. Subnet -> IP Address ->…
If you want to extend your Aria Operations monitoring to 3rd party environments, there are some pre-made management packs for a number of popular applications.But what if you can’t find what you need? If it has an API, we can build it without writing code! For this example, I’m going to build a Management Pack…
In Part 3 of the VCF 9 SSO series, we’ll be integrating VCF Operations, Logs and Automation with the Identity Broker. First up – Operations. Log into Operations as the Local Administrator, browse to Fleet Management/Identity and Access. Click on Operations appliance. Click Continue and then we can select the Identity Broker cluster. We’ll get…
In this blog post, we’ll be deploying VCF Operations for Logs. This component is not deployed during installation so we need to do this as a Day-2 operation. Log into VCF Operations, browse to Fleet Management / Lifecycle. Click Add, and it will begin the deployment wizard. This is going to look pretty similar to…
Today we’ll be performing a “scale-out” operation for Aria Operations for Logs (formerly vRealize Log Insight) using Aria Lifecycle. This workflow would be used if you find your Logs cluster is under-resourced and you wanted to add additional worker nodes, or if you wanted to scale out from a single node to enable a high…
