Configuring an
Azure VMware Solution
 Instance in
VMware Aria Operations

To monitor
Azure VMware Solution
 instances in
VMware Aria Operations
, you must add an
Azure VMware Solution
 cloud account.
  1. In the left menu, click
    Data Sources
    Integrations
    .
  2. In the Accounts tab, click
    Add
    .
  3. On the Accounts Type page, click
    Azure VMware Solution
    .
  4. From the
    Add Cloud Account
     page, enter a display name and description for the cloud account.
    • Name. Enter the name for the
      Azure VMware Solution
       instance as you want it to appear in
      VMware Aria Operations
      .
    • Description. Enter any additional information that helps you manage your instances.
  5. Configure the
    Azure VMware Solution
     credentials.
    Option
    Description
    Subscription ID
    Enter your subscription ID for Microsoft Azure.
    Directory (Tenant) ID
    Enter the directory (tenant) ID for your Azure Active Directory
    Credential
    Add the credentials used to access
    Azure VMware Solution
     by clicking the plus sign.
    • Enter an instance name for the credential values you are creating. This value is not the name of the adapter instance, but a friendly name for the secret credential.
    • Enter your application (Client) ID in your Azure Active Directory.
    • Enter the client secret that you generated for your application in the Microsoft Azure portal.
      For steps to generate a client secret, see Generate a Client Secret for Azure VMware Solution.
      The adapter uses the Azure public APIs to fetch the private clouds, hence internet connectivity to poll the APIs listed under Private Clouds - List in Subscription is mandatory. To view the APIs that the adapter uses internally, see Resource Manager - Overview.
    • Enter any required local proxy information for your network.
    Collector/Group
    Determine which collector or collector group is used to manage the cloud account.
    The best practice is to deploy the cloud proxy on each Private Cloud instance of
    Azure VMware Solution
    . If you use a cloud proxy, ensure it has access to the Internet, or if the outbound internet access for the cloud proxy must be restricted, ensure the minimum cloud proxy prerequisites are met. For details, see Configuring Cloud Proxies in VMware Aria Operations.
  6. Click
    Validate Connection
     to validate the connection.
  7. Click
    Save
    .
    The page to configure the
    Azure VMware Solution
     as a private cloud appears.
  8. Click
    Configure
    .
  9. Configure the desired vCenter adapter instance:
    1. Click the
      Add
       icon against
      Credential
      , and enter the required credentials.
      • Credential Name. The name by which you are identifying the configured credentials.
      • User Name. The vCenter user name.
      • Password. The vCenter password configured for that vCenter user name.
    2. Select the required collector group.
      If you have direct connectivity with your VMware Cloud
      vCenter Server
      , select
      Default collector group
      . If you are using a private IP for your
      vCenter Server
       or if you want to deploy Telegraf agents for application monitoring, select
      Cloud Proxy
      . The best practice is to deploy the Cloud Proxy on each SDDC instance of
      Azure VMware Solution
      .
      Select the cloud proxy deployed on the given
      vCenter Server
       and ensure it has access to the Internet. If the outbound internet access for the cloud proxy must be restricted, ensure that the minimum cloud proxy prerequisites are met.
      It is advised not to use the default collector groups as the
      Azure VMware Solution
       management gateway firewall rule does not allow traffic originating from any address.
      If you have configured an HTTP proxy on your
      VMware Aria Operations
       cloud proxy, ensure that your HTTP proxy has an exception to access the
      NSX-T
       Management Policy endpoint.
    3. Click

       to navigate to the
      vSAN
       section.

       to add alternate credentials. Click the plus icon, and enter the credential name,
      vCenter Server
       username, and password, and click
      OK
      .
    3. Select
      Enable SMART data collection
      , if required.
    4. Click
      Validate Connection
       to validate the connection.
    5. Click
      Next
      .

      Validate Connection

    Azure VMware Solution
     Service Discovery adapter are similar to configuring vCenter Service Discovery. For more information about configuring the vCenter Service Discovery, see Configure Service and Application Discovery.
The
Azure VMware Solution
 account, with the configured private cloud, is added to the list.
