Auto-enable Hosts for the Service

Auto-enable allows Ops Insights to automatically add new compute instances whenever they are added into a host or tenancy. Auto-enable will also listen for deletion events and remove instances when deleted.

Turn ON Auto-enable

To allow auto-enable to automatically add compute instances added into a host or tenancy:

  1. Open the navigation menu, click Observability & Management, and then click Ops Insights.
  2. In the left pane, click Administration, and then click Host fleet.
  3. In the Compartment applied filter, select the compartment or tenancy you wish to configure for auto-enable.

On the Host fleet administration page, a note at the top indicates that auto-enable is currently Off in this compartment. Click Manage auto-enable rules to configure auto-enable.

  • Verify that the compartment or tenancy selected is correct, if not close the pop-up message and select the correct compartment or tenancy.
    Note

    Enabling auto-enable for the tenancy will enable it for all child compartments within the tenancy as well.
  • Select the Automatically enable Ops Insights for newly provisioned instances in this compartment option.

Once complete, click Save changes. Auto-enable is turned on. Once enabled, Ops Insights will now start to bill and display for all new hosts created in the specified compartment or tenancy.

Note

Compute instances that are terminated will be automatically disabled in Ops Insights when auto-enable is on.

Turn OFF Auto-Enable

To turn off auto-enable, go to the Host fleet administration page, in the Compartment applied filter, select the compartment or tenancy you wish to disable auto-enable for.

On the Host fleet administration page, a note at the top indicates that auto-enable is currently On in this compartment. Click Manage auto-enable rules to disable auto-enable.
  • Verify that the compartment or tenancy selected is correct, if not close the pop-up message and select the correct compartment or tenancy.
    Note

    Disabling auto-enable for the tenancy will disable it for all child compartments within the tenancy as well.
  • Deselect the Automatically enable Ops Insights for newly provisioned instances in this compartment option.

Once complete click Save Changes. Auto-enable is disabled.

Note

Compute instances that are enabled during auto-enable, will not be disabled once auto-enable is turned off.
