Auto-management of Discovered Containerized Applications

eG Enterprise can automatically manage the containerized applications that are auto-discovered by the eG agents, provided, those applications are of component types that have been specifically chosen for auto-management. However, the auto-management capability of the eG manager is disabled by default. To enable auto-management, do the following:

  1. Login to the eG admin interface.
  2. Follow the Infrastructure -> Discovery menu sequence.
  3. Click the Auto manage option under the Containerized Applications sub-node of the Kubernetes Infrastructure sub-node in the Auto Scaling Environment sub-node of the Agent Discovery node in the discovery tree.

  4. Figure 1 will then appear. To enable auto-management of discovered components, set the Auto-manage discovered components? flag to Yes.

  5. If the Auto-manage discovered components? flag is set to Yes, then, by default, the components of the component types listed in the Component types to be automatically managed section would be managed automatically. If you do not wish to automatically manage the components of a particular component type listed under the Component types to be automatically managed section, click on the icon available at the top right end of the section.

  6. will then appear. All component types for auto management will be listed in the Selected component types list of .

  8. In the same way, you can remove the component types from the Selected component types list by selecting the component types and clicking > button. This will move your selection to the Available component types list and the component types will be excluded from the discovery process.
