Option Description
the virtual machines do not use NAT, you can use HTTP or DCOM.
HTTPPort If you selected the HTTP protocol, you must specify the port used to communicate
with the Collector.
Uses the HTTP Listener on the target machine. The listener is configured to listen
on the designated port. Port 26542 is the default setting. Accepted port values
range from 1–65535. Other applications should not use this port.
Use a
proxy
server
Select Yes if you use a proxy server for communication between the Collector and
the Agents on the virtual Windows machines.
Select No if you do not use a proxy server or if you are managing UNIX/Linux
machines.
If the machines you add are Windows machines, you can select a proxy server for
communication between the Collector and the Agents on managed machines that
are located on the other side of a proxy server. The proxy server routes requests
from the Collector to the Agents on managed machines. A proxy server can only
be used with Windows HTTP agents.
Connection
String
Select the IP address to use when communicating with the virtual machines.
This address can differ from the address that resolves by machine name from
DNS or other name resolution systems. Use this address when VCM must contact
a vApp virtual machine through a Network Address Translation (NAT) address,
or when DNS available to the Collector cannot resolve the vApp virtual machines.
The connection string depends on the type and level at which NAT mapping is
configured.
n
None (use DNS): The Collector resolves the IP address to the virtual machine
based on the configured name resolution mechanisms. For example, DNS or
Hosts.
n
Internal IP: The IP address that the virtual machine has in the vApp.
n
vApp External IP: The IP address external to the vApp addresses of the virtual
machines that are configured with NAT at the vApp level.
n
Org External IP: The IP address external to the organization addresses of the
virtual machines that are configured with NAT at the organization level or at
the organization and vApp level. If NATis implemented at the vApp and
organization level, select this option.
