Integrating IO with Global View at a Glance

Process to Integrate Infrastructure Observability with Global View

  • To configure IO properties to integrate with GV, restart IO Cloud Sync once properties are updated.

    Ensure the vw.vp_base_url is correctly set to avoid connection failures.

    By default, flag properties are set to false; change them to true if needed.

    1. IO Cloud Sync Integration Parameters (IO Cloud Sync service):

      com.vi.integrations.vcs.platform.region=<region> #eg: USA
      com.vi.integrations.vcs.platform.datacenter=<datacenter> # eg: Boston
      com.vi.integrations.vcs.tls.trust_all_certs=true
      com.vi.integrations.vcs.srclink_name=hostname  ## Just hostname from your IO URL not required https:// if not set some default name will be used like VI-Appliance
    2. UI Service Properties:

      vw.vp_base_url=<GLOBAL VIEW URL>   ## e.g., https://gv.k8s.example.com/
      com.vi.vp.tls.trust_all_certs=true
      com.vi.ui.filters.exclusions.enable=true
      com.vi.ui.enable.debug.options=true
  • Enable CloudSync. Setting this property is essential while connecting to GV, so make sure to set it first in the UI service.

    Use the Client ID and Secret (Step 4 of prerequisites) in the IO appliance at:

    https://<IO appliance>/#settings/connect-to-virtana-platform

    Ensure the connection is successful before proceeding.
