Security

For VMware and Docker environment#4:

Specifies whether SSL/TLS communication is used for the monitored physical server.

Either of the following values can be specified:

  • Security = 0 (SSL/TLS is not used.)

    0 cannot be specified, must use SSL/TLS connection.

  • Security = 1 (SSL/TLS is used.)

    If there is a problem with the server certificate, performance data continues to be collected, and a warning message is output to the common message log.

    When the warning message is output, you must change the invalid certificate to a valid one.

  • Security = 2 (SSL/TLS is used.)

    If there is a problem with the server certificate, performance data continues to be collected, but a warning message is not output to the common message log.

    If the default certificate of VMware is used for operation, output of warning messages can be suppressed by specifying the value 2.

    If you want operation without using the server certificate of Docker environment, specify the value 2 so that a warning message can be prevented from outputting.

  • Security = 3 (SSL/TLS is used.)

    If there is a problem with the server certificate, performance data is not collected, and a warning message is output to the common message log.

    If you want to use a valid certificate for operation and collect performance data only from trusted monitoring targets, specify the value 3.

For Hyper-V, logical partitioning feature, KVM and Podman environment:

This item is always assumed to be 0.

U

N

Port

Specifies the number of the port that is to be used for communication with the monitoring-target physical server.

If VMware is being used and the port number is set to 0, the system sets HTTPS default port number 443.

For logical partitioning feature, the fixed port number 623 is used. This port number cannot be changed. Even if a value other than 623 is specified for this property, the system uses the port number 623.

If KVM is being used and the value of this property is 0, the system uses the SSH default port number of 22.

If Docker environment is being used and the value 0 is specified for this property, monitoring is not performed because no port number is specified.

If Podman environment is being used and the value of this property is 0, the system uses the SSH default port number of 22.

U

N

UserID

Specifies the user ID that is used to connect to the monitoring-target physical server. Note that this property is valid only when the monitoring-target host is a VMware, Hyper-V, or KVM host.

U

N

Password

Shows the fixed string **** as the password that is used to connect to the monitoring-target physical server. The value of this property cannot be changed. Note that this property is valid only when the monitoring-target host is a VMware or Hyper-V host.

D

N

Domain

Specifies the name of the domain that the monitoring-target physical server belongs to. Note that this property is valid only when the monitoring-target host is a Hyper-V host.

U

N

Private_Key_File

Specifies the absolute path name of the private key file that is used for SSH public key based authentication. Note that this property is valid only when the monitoring-target host is a KVM or Podman environment host.

N: This property is not displayed (and cannot be updated).

#1

If either of these properties is Yes, records are saved in the Store database.

#2

The record ID excluding the database ID is displayed as the folder name. For the ID of each record, see 5. Records.

#3

The value set in PFM - RM for Virtual Machine is displayed.

#4

If there is a problem with the client certificate, the connection is rejected on the Docker environment side. Thus, performance data cannot be collected.

#5
