VMware, Inc. 4

System Requirements (SolarWinds NPM) 2Before installing and configuring the Management Pack, ensure your system meets the following requirements:

vRealize Operations Requirements SolarWinds Requirements

Version(s) vRealize Operations, version 6.3+ (Enterprise edition)

SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM)

n Software versions 10.4+

n Orion REST API 2.0+

Connection vROps hostname or IP address The Management Pack collects data from a SolarWinds NPM instance using the Orion 2.0 REST API via port 17778.

A SolarWinds hostname (or IP address) is required to direct the Management Pack to the data source.

Note IPv4/IPv6 is supported.

Credentials vROps User Name/Password with access to vRealize Suite API is required

A SolarWinds User Name/Password is required to log in to the data source.

Least Privileged User Requirements: No special user privileges are required for the Management Pack. SolarWinds guest user access is the least privileged user.

VMware, Inc. 5

Installing the Management Pack (SolarWinds NPM) 3The Management Pack for SolarWinds NPM is installed using a .pak file.

1 Log in to vRealize Operations as an admin user.

2 From the top navigation bar, select Administration. In the left panel, the default Solutions

view will be selected. In the right panel, click the Add icon.

Note If you are using vROps 7.5, Solutions will have two subcategories: Configuration and Repository. Select Repository and scroll down to Other Management Packs and select Add a Management Pack to install a new management pack. Refer to the second screenshot below if needed.

Note In addition, you may want to perform one or more of the following optional tasks to further configure the Management Pack for your specific needs:

n Validating Data Collection (SolarWinds NPM) (optional)

This chapter includes the following topics:



n Validating Data Collection (SolarWinds NPM)

Creating a Credential (SolarWinds NPM)

One of the required configuration tasks for the Management Pack is to create a set of credentials in vROps.

Prerequisites

n Chapter 3 Installing the Management Pack (SolarWinds NPM)

Procedure

1 Click the Administration icon. In the left panel, select Credentials.

VMware, Inc. 9

2 Click the Add icon. In the Manage Credential window that appears, enter the following information:

Results

n Credential name: Assign a name to your set of credentials

n User Name: SolarWinds user name

n Password:SolarWinds password

What to do next

Creating an Adapter Instance (SolarWinds NPM)

Creating an Adapter Instance (SolarWinds NPM)

Before you can begin using the Management Pack, you must create an adapter instance to identify the host from which the Management Pack will retrieve data.

Prerequisites

n Chapter 3 Installing the Management Pack (SolarWinds NPM)


Procedure

1 Click the Administration icon. In the right panel, the Solutions view will be displayed.

2 Select SolarWinds NPM from the Solutions list on the right.


VMware, Inc. 10

3 Click the Configure icon. The Manage Solution window will appear.

Note Click the Add icon above theInstance Namelist on the left to create multiple adapter instances


VMware, Inc. 11

4 In the Manage Solution window, enter the following information:

a Adapter Settings:

n Display Name: A name for this particular instance of the Management Pack.

n Description: Optional, but it can be helpful to describe multiple adapter instances of the Management Pack.

b Basic Settings:

n Hostname: SolarWinds Hostname or IP address.

Note The Management Pack supports IPv4 and IPv6.

n Credential: Select the credential you created when Creating a Credential (SolarWinds NPM).

c Advanced Settings:

n Collector: Default Collector/Group is automatically selected. Click the drop-down menu if you want to run the collection on a different node.

n Auto Discovery: Default setting is True, which enables the adapter instance to create resources for you. This should not be set to False.

n Port: Default port is 17778, but can be changed if your SolarWinds configuration differs.

n (Monitor) Nodes Collection – VLAN Nodes Collection: Default selection is Resource and events, but Resource or Off are also available options.

n (Monitor) Interfaces Collection: Default selection is Aggregate resource with events, but Aggregate resource, Resource and events, Resource, or Off are also available options.

n Relationship Collection Time: For the default selection, relationship collection will occur every 10 collection cycles. This setting can be changed to limit full relationship collection processing to once per day, with time selections of 00:00 to 22:00, in increments of 2 hours.

What to do next

n To validate data collection, see: Validating Data Collection (SolarWinds NPM).

Validating Data Collection (SolarWinds NPM)

After you add an adapter instance, you will most likely want to validate the data that it collects in vROps. Wait until one collection cycle is complete and the Collection Status for the adapter instance on the Solutions page shows as "Data Receiving".

Prerequisites



VMware, Inc. 12

Procedure

1 Select the Environment navigation shortcut.

2 Under Inventory Trees, select All Objects, then expand the SolarWinds Adapter objects list.

3 Select a resource from the list, then click the All Metrics tab to select metrics and validate values against the data source.

What to do next

To learn more about using the Management Pack, see: Chapter 6 Using the Management Pack (SolarWinds NPM).


VMware, Inc. 13

Troubleshooting the Management Pack (SolarWinds NPM) 5Once you have finished Chapter 3 Installing the Management Pack (SolarWinds NPM) and Chapter 4 Configuring the Management Pack (SolarWinds NPM), check the Collection State and Collection Status for the adapter instance on the Solutions page. If they show as Not Collecting or No Data Receiving, respectively, the following troubleshooting topics can help you diagnose and correct common problems with your adapter instance.

n Test Connection Errors

n Adapter and Collector Log Files

Test Connection Errors

When Creating an Adapter Instance (SolarWinds NPM), click Test Connection after entering all of your configuration settings to ensure vROps can connect to the specified host.

The following errors are possible:

n Unable to connect to the server

n Connection reset

n Invalid host name specified

n User Authentication error

n Port number specified contains invalid characters

n Invalid port number

Possible remedies include ensuring the following information is correct:

n SolarWinds Host name or IP address, written in Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) format

n SolarWinds User Name and Password

n Port number

VMware, Inc. 14

Adapter and Collector Log Files

You can review adapter errors in the adapter and collector log files, which can be viewed in the vROps UI or in an external log viewer.

n Adapter log files are located in the $VCOPS_BASE/user/log/adapters/npm_adapter3/ folder.

n Collector log files are located in the $VCOPS_BASE/user/log/ folder.

To set the base log level for the collector in vROps:

1 Navigate to Administration > Logs.

2 Expand the MASTER folder, then select the COLLECTOR folder.

3 Click the Edit Properties icon.

4 In the Root logger level drop-down menu, select the desired option:

n The default logging level is warning.

n To troubleshoot issues, set the logging level to info.

n To view detailed messages, including micro steps, queries, and returned results, set the logging level to debug.

Note If you set the logging level to debug , log files can become large very quickly. Set the logging level to debug only for short periods of time.

For more information about viewing log files and modifying levels, refer to the vROps online help.
