Exposing an ObjectServer port in a Netcool® Operations Insight on Red Hat® OpenShift® deployment

Edit online

(Optional) Use this information to learn how to expose an ObjectServer port, and then verify that the port is exposed by sending events to it through a REST API.

Procedure

Find the configmap for the primary ObjectServer, as in the following example:

oc get configmap |grep objserv-agg-primary
m101-objserv-agg-primary-config   2      5h24m

Edit the primary ObjectServer's configmap.
```
oc edit configmap release_name-objserv-agg-primary-config
```
Where <release_name> is the name of your deployment, as specified by the value used for name (Operator Lifecycle Manager UI Form view), or name in the metadata section of the noi.ibm.com_noihybrids_cr.yaml or noi.ibm.com_nois_cr.yaml files (YAML view)..
Edit the primary ObjectServer's configmap to include the following lines:
```
data:
  agg-p-props-append: |
    NRestOS.Enable: TRUE
    NHttpd.EnableHTTP: TRUE
    NHttpd.ListeningPort: 8080
```
Restart the ncoprimary pod.
```
oc delete pod release_name-ncoprimary-0
```
Where <release_name> is the name of your deployment, as specified by the value used for name (Operator Lifecycle Manager UI Form view), or name in the metadata section of the noi.ibm.com_noihybrids_cr.yaml or noi.ibm.com_nois_cr.yaml files (YAML view).
Expose port 8080.
```
oc expose po release_name-ncoprimary-0 --port=8080 --type=NodePort --name=objserve-http-client-external-portforward
```
Where <release_name> is the name of your deployment, as specified by the value used for name (Operator Lifecycle Manager UI Form view), or name in the metadata section of the noi.ibm.com_noihybrids_cr.yaml or noi.ibm.com_nois_cr.yaml files (YAML view).

Check that port 8080 is exposed.

oc get svc | grep objserve-http-client-external-portforward 
objserve-http-client-external-portforward                 NodePort    10.0.43.199    <none>        8080:31729/TCP                                          169m

Send events to the ObjectServer with CURL.

$ curl -X POST -v -u root:object_server_password -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @server1.json http://objserve-http-client-external-portforward.{master server}:31729/objectserver/restapi/alerts/status;

Where object_server_password is the password for the ObjectServer.

Check that the ObjectServer received the events.

http://objserve-http-client-external-portforward.{cluster_hostname}:31729/objectserver/restapi/alerts/status
