Adding new observers to an existing OCP installation

You can add new observers to an existing Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) installation of Agile Service Manager using either the command line interface (CLI), or the Red Hat OpenShift Operator Lifecycle Management console (UI).

OCP installations of Agile Service Manager are deployed as part of IBM Netcool Operations Insight (NOI).

To add new observers to an existing OCP installation you edit the yaml file and then run a Helm upgrade.

For a CLI NOI installation

See the following topic for more information on NOI installations via CLI: Installing operators with the CLI using PPA

  1. Enable the new observers in the deploy/crds/noi.ibm.com_nois_cr.yaml file.
    Change the value for an observers to 'true' to enable it, as in the following sample:
    ...
        observers:
          alm: false
          appdynamics: false
          aws: true
          azure: false
    ...
          docker: true
          dynatrace: false
          file: true
    ...
  2. Run the following command to apply the changes made:
    kubectl apply -f noi.ibm.com_nois_cr.yaml

For a UI NOI installation

See the following topic for more information on NOI installations via UI: Installing operators with the Operator Lifecycle Management console

  1. In the Operator Lifecycle Management console, go to Operators > Installed Operators.
  2. Choose the correct project from the Project drop-down list.
  3. Click the Netcool Operations Insight operator.
  4. Click the YAML tab and edit the file. To enable an observer, set it to 'true', for example:
    ...
        observers:
          alm: false
          appdynamics: true
    ...
  5. Click Save to apply the changes.
