You create an instance of the Horizon Adapter on a vRealize Operations Manager node to receive communications from agents.
You can monitor multiple Horizon pods with a single Horizon Adapter instance. If you need to create multiple adapter instances, you must assign each adapter instance to a different node.
Prerequisites
Install the vRealize Operations for Horizon solution.
Procedure
- Log in to the vRealize Operations Manager user interface as an administrator.
- In the menu, click Administration and in the left pane click Solutions.
- On the Solutions tab, select VMware Horizon and click the Configure icon on the toolbar.
- Select Horizon Adapter in the Adapter Type column and click the Add icon on the lower pane toolbar to add an adapter instance.
- In the Instance Settings section, enter a name and description for the adapter instance.
- In the Basic Settings section, configure an ID and credential for the adapter instance.
- Enter an identifier for the adapter instance in the Adapter ID text box.
The identifier must be unique across all
Horizon Adapter instances in the cluster.
- Select a credential from the drop-down menu or click the Add icon to create a new credential.
The credential includes a user-defined server key that is required for pairing broker agents to the adapter. You must provide the server key when you configure the broker agent.
- Click Test Connection to test the connection with the credential that you selected.
- In the Advanced Settings section, select a collector from the drop-down menu.
Important:
- Creating the Horizon Adapter instance on a collector group is not supported. If a failover occurs and the Horizon Adapter instance is moved to a different collector in the group, it cannot continue to collect data.
- Creating more than one Horizon Adapter instance per collector is not supported.
- Click Save Settings.
The adapter instance is added to the list.
