Operations
This chapter discusses how you can monitor system health using the Operations Manager.
Topics:
• Monitoring
• Backup and recovery
• Updating the Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft
• Shutting down and starting up the stamp
Monitoring
By default, you can use Operations Manager to monitor the health of the system.
Any member of the group <
Prex
>-Ops-Admins can connect to the Operations console.
If you opt in to Azure services, you can also use Operational Insights. Operational Insights is also known as Microsoft Oce Management
Suite (OMS), a cloud-based IT management solution.
Onboarding to Operational Insights
You can opt in to Azure services during Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft deployment, or at any time after deployment by using the
Operational Insights wizard.
When you opt in to Azure services, onboarding to Operational Insights occurs automatically. For information about the OMS suite, go to
http://microsoft.com/oms.
By default:
• Operational Insights is congured to use the Operations Manager instance on the Dell Hybrid Cloud System stamp as the data source.
• A workspace is created. The workspace is a logical container for storing your management data.
• Several solutions are pre-selected for your implementation.
To sign in to Operational Insights, go to http://microsoft.com/oms. Sign in by using your Azure subscription for the Dell Hybrid Cloud
System for Microsoft stamp.
You can also con
gure Operational Insights to collect log information and other data, such as Windows event logs and performance
counters. For more information, see "Add logs and machine data" at
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/mt679065.aspx. To enable log
collec
tion:
1 Sign in to Operational Insights.
2 Select the Get started tile.
3 Click
Add logs.
4 Enable logging as needed.
For information about how to use Operational Insights, see the OMS TechNet Library site, at https://technet.microsoft.com/library/
