Install an AppSpeed Probe
You can install a probe on one host at a time or multiple hosts at the same time. You can also install more than
one probe on the same host.
If you want to install a probe to monitor a Nexus 1000V switch, see “Monitor Cisco Nexus 1000V Switches,”
on page 18.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Client, select Home > Solutions and Applications and click the <AppSpeed_namespace>
icon.
A new Services tab appears in the vSphere Client interface.
2 (Optional) If the <AppSpeed_namespace> icon does not appear, verify that the AppSpeed plug-in is
enabled in the Plug-ins menu.
3 In the AppSpeed menu bar, click Administration.
4 In the page selection bar, click Deployment.
5 Select the hosts or clusters on which to install a probe and click the Install Probes button.
A probe is installed on each selected host, even if another probe is already installed on the host. When you
select a cluster, each host that it contains is selected.
The Probe Installation window displays a separate entry for each host that you select. Each entry appears
in a separate pane.
6 (Optional) You can configure the probe for each probe entry, as described in “Configure the Probe for
Each Host Entry,” on page 16.
7 (Optional) To add an additional probe to a host, click Install another probe on this host at the bottom of
the host entry and configure the probe.
8 When you finish adding host-probe combinations, click the Install Probes button.
9 Review the installation information, and click OK.
To change the settings, click Back.
The Probe Status column in the Probes Management window shows the installation progress.
The probe is added to the <namespace> Probes folder in the vSphere Client and powered on.
What to do next
Delete the AppSpeed Server virtual machine snapshots after the probe installation is complete.
Configure the Probe for Each Host Entry
You can configure the probe for each host entry.
The probe also connects to the management network you specified, but it does not monitor the network.
