This topic describes how to manually install the Healthwatch™ for VMware Tanzu® (Healthwatch), Healthwatch Exporter for VMware Tanzu® Application Service™ (TAS for VMs), and Healthwatch Exporter for VMware Tanzu® Kubernetes Grid™ Integrated Edition (TKGI) tiles.

To install, configure, and deploy these tiles through an automated pipeline, see Installing, Configuring, and Deploying a Tile Through an Automated Pipeline.

Overview

The Healthwatch tile monitors metrics across one or more Ops Manager foundations by scraping metrics from Healthwatch Exporter tiles installed on each foundation. For more information about the architecture of each tile, see Healthwatch Architecture.

To manually install the Healthwatch and Healthwatch Exporter tiles, you must download and install the tiles from VMware Tanzu Network. For more information, see Install a Tile Manually below.

After you have installed the Healthwatch and Healthwatch Exporter tiles, you can configure them through the Ops Manager Installation Dashboard. For more information, see Next Steps below.

Note: There are risks to using Healthwatch v2.2, including missed email notifications, overwritten dashboards, and minor data loss during upgrades. For more information about how to prepare for or prevent these problems, see Assumed Risks of Using Healthwatch v2.2 in Healthwatch for VMware Tanzu.
