Running OpManager on AWS helps in ensuring world class network management for your device while eliminating the need for a physical server for monitoring.
You can use OpManager in AWS using one of the 2 methods:
Before you begin, please purchase OpManager AMI from here.
Metric | Criteria |
---|---|
EC2 Instance Type | m4.xlarge or above |
Operating System | Windows 10/8/7 (or) Windows Server 2008 and newer (Supported up to 2019 ) |
Storage | 20 GB (minimum) |
(a) http://<ec2_instance_public_dns>:8060 (for http connection)
(b) https://<ec2_instance_public_dns>:8061 (for https connection)
Username: admin
Password: --Instance ID--
Note: When you access the OpManager using the public IP/DNS address, note that the "Public IP/DNS address" changes when the instance is stopped/terminated. As in a network, devices need to forward syslogs & traps to the OpManager server, the public IP has to be updated in the end devices every time it changes. Hence it is recommended to use an elastic IP address for seamless monitoring . For more details on Elastic IP address click here.
Pre-requisites
Before installing OpManager in AWS, ensure that you meet the following pre-requisites
Note: The above specified are the minimum requirements. You may have to change the configurations according to the number of devices you are monitoring and additional integrations / modules ( such as firewall, IP address management etc ). To know more about creating instance click here.
Important Note:
Ensure that the following ports in your OpManager instance are not blocked for proper functioning of OpManager and its add-ons (this step is a must for running OpManager from AMI as well as for running OpManager from an EC2 instance):
