Microsoft Hyper-V Servers 

Follow the steps given below to create a new Microsoft Hyper-V Server monitor:

1. Click the New Monitor drop-down link menu.

2. Select Hyper-V Server under Virtualization category. This action will load the Add Monitor screen.

3. Specify the Display Name of the Hyper-V server.

4. Enter the Host Name or IP Address of the host where the Hyper-V server is running.

5. Enter User Name and Password for authentication.

6. Select the Monitor Performance Metrics of Virtual Machines option if you want Applications Manager to collect performance metrics of VMs of this server.

7. Select the Version of your Microsoft Hyper-V Server from the drop-down menu (2008 or 2012).

8. Specify the Polling Interval in minutes.

9. If you are adding a new monitor from an Admin Server, select a Managed Server.

10. Select the Monitor Group with which you want to associate the Hyper-V server, from the combo box (optional). You can choose multiple groups to associate your monitor.

11. Click Add Monitor(s). This discovers the Hyper-V server from the network and starts monitoring it.

User Permissions

To monitor a Hyper-V host, the user must have ‘Administrator’ privileges to the root OS (Windows 2008 R2 and other supported Hyper-V versions).

Firewall Requirements

If a firewall is present between Applications Manager and the Hyper-V server, open ports 135,443 and 1025 in the firewall to enable access.
