Network Setup and Utilities
The Network Setup and Utilities features lets you configure the Virtana Infrastructure Observability network.
Select Network Setup and Utilities from the Settings screen to modify the appliance's network settings.
The Network Setup page is displayed. This manages the configuration for a single NIC. See Configure Multiple NICs for information on configuring more than one NIC.
Note
If you are deploying an OVA for the Virtana Infrastructure Observability Virtual Editions, the Network Ports section of the Network Setup screen contains information for only the NIC0 port. The MGMT port as well as NIC1, NIC2, NIC3, and NIC4 do not apply to the Virtual Editions. See the Virtana Infrastructure Observability Virtual Edition Guide for more information.
You can edit the following network settings for the appliance:
DNS address
Domain name
Hostname
Important
Be sure to use a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) if you're using certificate based on a FQDN. Otherwise, URLs that are generated for case email alerts, etc., will give an error when clicked.
Language
NTP
Note
It is imperative that all IO data sources are synced to the same NTP sources that will be configured in IO, otherwise the platform might reject data. If syncing is not possible, then a data source’s time should be set to the same time as Infrastructure Observability IO.
Timezone
Note
As specified in the Virtana Infrastructure Observability Platform Appliance Guide, it is recommended that you set the time zone to the one in which the Appliance is deployed.
NICs 0-4, and their associated DHCP or static IP settings
Warning
If you change from static IP to DHCP connectivity as part of the network configuration of the Virtana Infrastructure Observability appliance, the DNS settings are not updated by DHCP. You must manually update the DNS settings.
