Installing the Analytics Processor
This section describes how to install and configure the vCenter Operations Manager analytics processor.
The vCenter Operations Manager server installation includes a process which performs all of the various
vCenter Operations Manager analytics calculations: dynamic thresholds, fingerprinting, and so on. vCenter
Operations Manager also gives you the option of installing a separate analytics processor on one or more remote
hosts to handle only the dynamic threshold computation; this is called the DT Processor. This has two benefits:
n
It distributes the analytics processing among two or more hosts to improve performance and reduce the
demand on the server.
n
When you have a separate process just for the dynamic threshold calculations, a problem with dynamic
thresholds does not stop the entire analytics process.
Install the Analytics Processor
You can install the DT Processor on one or more remote hosts. It is supported on both Windows and Linux
hosts; the installation process is the same on either.
Prerequisites
