Installing extensions

After you purchase an extension, follow these instructions to install your extension.

For organizations that are responsible for application and network infrastructure management, Netcool® Operations Insight® on Red Hat® OpenShift® has two optional extensions, the Advanced Agile Discovery extension, and the Network Manager extension. The Advanced Agile Discovery extension is not meant for separate deployment. These extensions do not include entitlement for Red Hat OpenShift.

The part numbers for supporting products and extensions can be found in Cloud components and On-premises components.

Installing the Advanced Agile Discovery extension

The Advanced Agile Discovery extension (formerly known as the application discovery and network discovery services in IBM Agile Service Manager) requires a separate license from IBM Cloud Pak for Watson™ AIOps. After you obtain your license from Passport Advantage, you can activate the extension with either of the following methods:
  • Option 1: Install the Advanced Agile Discovery extension with the Red Hat OpenShift console
  • Option 2: Install the Advanced Agile Discovery extension with the Red Hat OpenShift CLI

Option 1: Install the Advanced Agile Discovery extension with the Red Hat OpenShift console

  1. From the Red Hat OpenShift console, click Operators > Installed Operators, and then select the Netcool Operations Insight operator. Click the NOI tab and select evtmanager.
  2. Select the YAML tab and use the YAML editor to change the values of netDisco and appDisco from false to true, and then click Save.
    topology:
      appDisco:
        enabled: true
      netDisco: true
Your event management instance now has the Advanced Agile Discovery extension deployed, and you can configure your application and network discovery services. For more information about configuring the services, see Configuring extensions.

Option 2: Install the Advanced Agile Discovery extension with the Red Hat OpenShift CLI

  1. Edit the event management instance by switching to your project namespace, and running the following command:
    oc edit noi
  2. Change the values of netDisco and appDisco from false to true.
    topology:
      appDisco:
        enabled: true
      netDisco: true
Your event management instance now has the Advanced Agile Discovery extension deployed, and you can configure the application and network discovery services. For more information about configuring the services, see Configuring extensions.
