Data Transfer from IO to Global View
If you have an account, you can automatically generate and upload data collection information from IO to Global View. This file is required if you plan to migrate to the cloud using Virtana's Migration module.
In IO , the file is generated as a JSON or ZIP file. Only a ZIP file can be exported from IO and directly uploaded to the selected organization in Workload Placement.
About This Task
To establish access between IO and Global View, you must have the Client ID and Client Secret for the organization in Virtana Platform to which you are connecting. After generating a set of unique credentials in Virtana Platform, you must enter the credentials in IO.
You can upload up to 3 files from IO to establish Virtana Platform projects. If you upload more than 3 files, an equivalent number of project files will be removed from Global View so that the number of active projects does not exceed 3.
OAuth credentials are generated for the Virtana Platform organization under which you logged in and are unique to that organization.
Prerequisites
You must have administrator privileges in both Virtana Platform and IO to perform this task.
Your Virtana Platform account must be configured with a supported cloud provider instance.
The organization to which you want to upload the IO export data must already exist in the Virtana Platform.
Steps
In Virtana Platform, ensure you are logged in to the organization you want to connect to.
Navigate to Settings > Integrations > Virtana Platform API.
Click Generate OAuth Client Credentials.
Unique credentials are displayed for your organization.
You must copy these credentials and enter them in IO.
The Client Secret key is displayed only at the time the OAuth token is generated.
In Infrastructure Observability, navigate to Settings > Probes and Integrations > Connect to Virtana Platform and do one of the following:
If no connection yet exists to a Virtana Platform organization:
Provide the OAuth 2.0 Client ID and Client Secret for the target organization in Virtana Platform.
Click Validate & Connect.
A confirmation message displays when the connection succeeds.
If a connection already exists to a Virtana Platform organization:
Click Connect to a different organization.
Provide the OAuth 2.0 Client ID and Client Secret for the target organization in Virtana Platform.
Click Validate & Connect.
A confirmation message displays when the connection succeeds.
To revoke credentials, return to the Virtana Platform API tab and click Revoke Credentials.
Tip
IO does not retain a copy of the content that is uploaded to Global View. If you want to retain a backup copy, you should download the generated content.
