Written by Christopher Lewis on April 21, 2016 .
This is Part 4 of a series on Monitoring Processes in Linux using VMware vRealize Operations Endpoint Operations Management (EPOPS).
- Creating the MultiProcess Object for a single Linux Machine
- Creating a MultiProcess Object for a Linux Machine (via Inventory Explorer)
- Creating Object Relationships
- Identifying the correct process.query string
Firstly I would highly recommend the following steps are taken within a test/lab environment. Within my lab environment I had numerous instances of core CentOS7, so if you have a more feature rich installation of Linux some of the steps may not be necessary.

The main prerequisite information for installing the EPOPS agent is information required to populate the agent.properties file once installation is completed (but not started), this includes:
- IP or hostname of the vROps Server (
agent.setup.serverIP
) - SSL Port to be used (default is 443) (
agent.setup.serverSSLPort
) - Account used to register the agent in vROps (
agent.setup.serverLogin
) - Password for the Registration Account (
agent.setup.serverPword
) - The Certificate Thumbprint of the vROps Server (
agent.setup.serverCertificateThumbprint
) - (optional) Agent Listen Port (default is 2144) if you are deploying VMware vRealize Hyperic as well (
agent.listenPort
)
Note: The Certificate Thumbprint is available from the vRealize Operations Admin portal (https://vrops-server/admin) just click the gold medal icon!

Select Administration.
Select Object Relationships.
Under Parent Selection, select Object Types.

I have been working with a customer recently around migrating their Linux based monitoring form their incumbent monitoring tool into vRealize Operations End Point Operations Management. For those who don’t know, from VMware vRealize Operations 6.1, VMware have started to migrate some of the functionality of the (seemingly deprecated) VMware vRealize Hyperic Monitoring tool into the native functionality of VMware vRealize Operations.
