The Aggregator Management Pack requires a dedicated instance of VMware Aria Operations on which this solution is installed. The dedicated instance applies the management pack to communicate to your other VMware Aria Operations instances in your environment to collect key metrics.

Prerequisites

  • Download the Aggregator Management Pack PAK file from VMware Marketplace.
  • Verify that you have at least one VMware Aria Operations node deployed to install the Aggregator management pack.
  • It is recommended to install the VMware SDDC Health Monitoring Solution on the child VMware Aria Operations instances, to get an aggregated view of the health of all the SDDC core and management applications installed across your environment.
  • Verify that each VMware Aria Operations instance is communicating with the centralized instance and vice-versa.
    Note: The Aggregator adapter requires the same port to communicate as the web interface. There is no requirement of an additional open port.
