How Does eG Enterprise Monitor Omnissa Horizon Cluster/Pod?

eG Enterprise monitors the Omnissa Horizon Cluster/Pod using a single eG agent  on any remote host in the environment. This agent is capable of monitoring the performance of the Omnissa Horizon Cloud Pod (provisioned using Omnissa Horizon v7.10 and above) and collect the required metrics by executing Omnissa Restful APIs. To enable the eG agent to collect the required metrics, ensure that the user accessing the target Omnissa Horizon Cluster/Pod should possess read-only role defined in the Horizon View Management Console.

To enable the eG agent to collect the required metrics, ensure that the user accessing the target Omnissa Horizon Cluster/Pod possesses read-only administrator role defined in the Horizon View management console.

Managing the Omnissa Horizon Cluster/Pod

To achieve this, follow the steps given below:

1. Log into the eG admin interface.

2. eG Enterprise cannot automatically discover the Omnissa Horizon Cluster/Pod. You need to manually add the component using the COMPONENTS page (see Figure 1) that appears when the Infrastructure -> Components -> Add/Modify menu sequence is followed. Remember that components manually added are managed automatically.

3. Specify the Nick name of the Omnissa Horizon Cluster/Pod in Figure 1. Also select Other as the OS and Other as the Mode. Then, choose a remote agent from the Remote agent drop down.
4. Then, click the Add button to register the changes.

5. Once the Ominssa Horizon Cluster/Pod component is added successfully, you will be again redirected to the Components page (see Figure 2). Using the options provided in the Components page, you can modify, unmanage or delete the newly added component. In addition, you can also configure the tests.
