Configuring targets

Configuring a target

1. Navigate to the Settings Page.

   

   Click to navigate to the Settings Page. From there, you can perform a variety of Turbonomic configuration tasks.

2. Choose Target Configuration.

   

   Click to navigate to the Target Configuration Page.

3. Review the list of targets.

   

   This page lists all the targets that you currently have configured for Turbonomic in a sortable table. The table is sorted by target health by default. You can inspect or edit these targets, or add a new target.

4. Filter the list of targets.

   

   For a long list of targets, you can:

   • Filter targets by target type.

   • Use Search to filter targets by Target Name using a text string (partial matching is supported).

   • Use Filter to filter targets by status (for example, only show validated targets). You can also use Filter to filter targets by target type or health.

5. Select one or more targets to work with.

   

   When you select a target you can:

   • Rediscover

     Direct Turbonomic to fully discover the entities that this target manages. This will rebuild the topology that is associated with this target.

   • Delete

     When you delete a target, Turbonomic removes all the associated entities from the supply chain.

6. View or edit the target details by clicking the icon under the Details column.

   

   Use the target details page to view or edit target details. In addition to target details, this page shows the last discovered and last modified dates, target health, state, and any related targets.

   Note:

   A value of "N/A" in the Last Modified column indicates that the target is a derived target, and therefore the details cannot be edited.

   

7. Create a new target and add it to Turbonomic.

   

   Click New Target, select the target category and type, and then provide the address and credentials for that target.

   After you add the target, the Target Configuration page refreshes to show the current validation status.

   • Validating

     Validation is in progress.

   • Validated

     Validation was successful. Turbonomic can now monitor the target and will start discovering the entities that the target manages.

   • Validation Failed

     Validation was unsuccessful. Expand the target to see additional information.

     Turbonomic regularly checks the status of your targets. If target discovery or validation fails, the Target Configuration page updates the status. Under some circumstances, the target can become discoverable or valid again, but the status does not update. In this case, select the target and then click Rediscover or Validate.
