Sample Configurations

If you do not use the helper script, you must provide specific configurations required on the end point to post metrics to cloud proxy.
Based on whether the
vCenter Server
 VM is managed or unmanaged, the following configurations must be provided for open source Telegraf.
You must provide correct values for the variables enclosed in
<>
.
If you do not use the helper script, you must download mandatory_tags.sh or mandatory_tags.bat and provide the path to the script that you have downloaded and the path to the Telegraf executable. For example, in the following code, you must provide the following: <Path to mandatory_tags.sh/bat> <path to telegraf executable>.
For Linux, download the mandatory_tags.sh from cloud proxy located at
https://<CP_IP>/downloads/salt/mandatory_tags.sh
.
For Windows, download the mandatory_tags.ps1 from cloud proxy located at
https://<CP_IP>/downloads/salt/mandatory_tags.ps1
.
For Windows and Linux, use the relevant cloud proxy IP address/FQDN for <CP_IP> in the preceding commands and location specified. For application monitoring high availability activated collector groups, provide the virtual IP
