Enabling Advanced Monitoring for Windows VM

This section provides step-by-step instructions to enable advanced monitoring for a Windows VM.

Steps to Enable Advanced Monitoring:

  • Log in to the cloud management portal.

  • Select the VM you want to enable advanced monitoring for and click on it.

  • Navigate to the Monitoring section. On the top right corner, you will find the "Configure Advanced Monitoring" button. Click on it.

  • Clicking the "Configure Advanced Monitoring" button will open a new tab in your browser.

  • The activation process consists of three steps:

    • Installing the Agent
    • Checking Port Status
    • Finalizing Activation

  • Start by installing the monitoring agent inside the VM. Click the "Generate" button on the agent configuration screen.

  • Once the agent installation link is generated, click the "Copy" button to copy the link.

  • Log in to the Windows VM, open PowerShell as an administrator.

  • Paste the copied agent installation link into the PowerShell window and press Enter.

  • The agent installation will begin, and it may take a few minutes to complete.

  • After a few minutes, the monitoring agent will be successfully installed on the VM.

  • Ensure that port 9100 is added to the Windows VM firewall for monitoring.

  • Ensure that port 9100 is allowed in the firewall settings of your cloud portal and configure port forwarding to route traffic to the corresponding VM.

  • Once all configurations are set up on the Windows VM, switch back to the Advanced Monitoring Portal and click the "Check" button to validate the agent installation.

  • Upon successful validation, a confirmation message will be displayed. The page will then automatically redirect to the VM Advanced Monitoring Dashboard.
