VMware vCenter AppSpeed Installation
Procedure
1 Type the name of the probe in the Probe Name text box.
If you do not specify a name, AppSpeed Server assigns a default name.
2From the Storage menu, select the storage device to which the probe connects.
3From the Management Network menu, select the network to use to manage the probes.
a Select up to three monitoring vSwitches.
The vSwitches sniff traffic on the configured management network.
By default, the first three available vSwitches are selected.
b Select either the DHCP or Static IP option.
If you select Static IP, you must type values for each of the IP, Network, and Gateway (optional)
fields.
4Click Install Probes.
5 Review the summary and click OK.
The probe is installed.
Power Probes On or Off
You can power probes on or off from the Probes Management window.
Procedure
1Click the Administration tab, and in the Management Tools pane click Probes Management.
2 In the Probes Management window, select the check boxes for one or more probes, and click Power On
or Power Off.
Delete Probes from Hosts
If you do not want to monitor the traffic on a specific host, you can remove the probes from that host. If you
do not want to monitor specific vSwitches on a host, you can delete the probe that is monitoring those switches.
Procedure
1Click the Administration tab, and in the Management Tools pane click Probes Management.
2 In the Probes Management window, select the check boxes for one or more probes on one or multiple
hosts, click Delete Probe, and click OK to confirm.
The probe is removed from the selected hosts only.
Verify the Installation
You can verify the successful installation and deployment of the probes by checking the probe status in any of
the following locations:
 Recent Tasks pane of the vSphere Client
 Probes Management window of the AppSpeed user interface
 Servers tab or Transactions tab of the Unmapped Traffic page
If the probe is successfully installed and deployed, the status of the probe is Running. In addition, if active traffic
is present on the part of the network that the probe is monitoring, the traffic throughput is reflected accordingly.
The traffic throughput can be 0 if there is no traffic on the monitored vSwitches or if a problem occurs with the
installation. If the problem persists and you know that traffic is present, see “Troubleshooting” on page 26.
