BeforeyoucantakeadvantageofthemonitoringcapabilitiesofAppSpeed,youmustinstalltheAppSpeed
plug‐inanddeploytheAppSpeedprobes.

Install the AppSpeed Plug-In
YoumustinstalltheAppSpeedplug‐inoneachvSphereClientorVIClientthatneedsto connecttoAppSpeed.
To install the AppSpeed plug-in
1InthevSphereClientorVIClient,selectPlugins>ManagePlugins.
2 SelecttheAppSpeedplug‐inandclicktheDownloadandinstallbutton.
Aprogresswindowindicatestheprogressuntiltheinstallationiscomplete.
3ClickClosewhentheinstallationiscomplete.
4Enabletheplug‐in:
aInaVIClient,clicktheInstalledtab.IntheentryfortheAppSpeedUtility,selecttheEnabledcheckbox.
bInavSphereClient,right‐clickvCenterandclickEnabledintheplug‐inslist.
TheAppSpeediconisaddedtothetoolbar.
Deploying the AppSpeed Probes
Beforethemonitoringprocesscanbegin,youmustinstallatleastoneAppSpeedprobeononeormorehosts.
EachprobecanmonitoruptothreevSwitches.Youcaninstallmorethanoneprobeonthesamehostto
monitoradditionalvSwitches.Theprobesettings,includingthemanagementnetwork,storagedevice,
and
monitoredvSwitches,areconfiguredaspartoftheprobeinstallationprocess.
Youcanaddandremoveprobes.See“InstallanAppSpeedProbe”onpage14and“DeleteProbes”onpage15.
