Add RHEV Manager Details - Host Details RHEV

If the RHEV Manager that you want to use for metrics collection is not available in the RHEL MGR HOST list, then, you can configure an RHEV Manager on-the-fly by picking the Other option from the RHEL MGR HOST list. An Add RHEV Manager Details window will then pop up. In the pop up window specify the following:

  • Specify the IP address/host name of the RHEV Manager that you wish to add in the RHEV Manager identity text box.

  • Set Use SSL to connect to RHEV Manager flag to Yes if the RHEV manager in your environment is SSL-enabled. Otherwise, set this flag to No.

  • If the RHEV Manager is SSL-enabled, then 8443 will be displayed in the Manager Port text box by default. On the other hand, if the manager is not SSL-enabled, the default Manager Port will be 8080. If the RHEV manager in your environment listens on a different SSL or non-SSL port, then make corresponding changes to the default setting.

  • If you also want to discover additional RHEV servers in your environment using this RHEV manager, set the Discover RHEV Hypervisors using this RHEV manager flag to Yes. If you only want to use this RHEV manager to obtain the outside view of VMs, set this flag to No.

  • In the Username to connect to RHEV manager and Password for user text boxes, specify the credentials (i.e., user name and password) of a user who has been assigned read-only access. To know how to create a read-only role and assign it to a user, Click here.

  • Confirm the password by retying it in the Confirm password for user text box.

  • Specify the domain to which the RHEV Manager belongs to in the Domain name for the RHEV Manager text box.

  • You can then click the Update button to save the RHEV configuration. To erase all the information already feeded, click on the Clear button.
