Enable Hosts for the Service

Once a host is enabled, you'll be able to use Ops Insights Capacity Planning features to optimize performance and resource usage.

Note

The data may take up to 24 hours to appear.

To enable one or more hosts from a compartment for Ops Insights, log in to OCI and do the following:

  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.

    The Host fleet administration page displays.

  3. Click Add hosts. The Add hosts to Ops Insights panel displays.
  4. Click the desired Telemetry. Available telemetries are:
    • Cloud Infrastructure: Hosts in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI Compute).
    • OCI Management Agent: Hosts monitored by the OCI Management Agent service. You'll need to select the destination compartment as shown in the next step.
    • Enterprise Manager: Hosts monitored and managed via Enterprise Manager. You'll need to select the EM Bridge. In addition, you'll also need to select the destination compartment as shown in the next step.
  5. Select the Management Agent Compartment (Compute Instance Compartment if Cloud Infrastructure telemetry has been selected) that contains the host that you want to enable for Ops Insights. Optionally, if there are many hosts and you know which ones you want to enable, you can filter the returned results based on criteria such as Host display name and Platform type.
    Note

    This does not apply to Enterprise Manager hosts.
  6. Select one or more hosts to enable.
  7. Click Add hosts. The add hosts request is submitted for processing. Depending on amount of data that needs to be uploaded, it may take a few minutes for the process to complete. Data may take up to 24 hours to appear in Ops Insights for newly enabled hosts.

Available Actions

Once you've added a host to Ops Insights, in addition to enabling and disabling the host, you can also add tags and move these resources to different compartments. These actions can be accessed by clicking the Actions menu for a host on the Host fleet administration page.
