Viewpoint provides a user interface to configure and monitor Teradata Fabric. When adding Teradata Fabric to Viewpoint, only one Teradata Fabric Manager in a cluster needs to be specified. Viewpoint automatically discovers and performs failover to the other Teradata Fabric Managers in the cluster, if the host manager goes offline. Best practice, enter the Teradata Fabric Manager host that is geographically the closest to the active Viewpoint server.
- From the Viewpoint portal page, select
. - Open the Monitored Systems portlet.
- Select
next to Systems and select Add Teradata Fabric. - Under General System Details, enter a system nickname, up to 8 characters.
- Select the Enable system check box.After it is enabled, the system starts collecting data.
- Enter the host ID of the Teradata Fabric Manager closest to the Viewpoint server.The host ID is the IP address of Teradata Fabric.
- Under Login, do the following:
- In Name, type viewpoint.
- In Password, type teradata. When using AWS, as a best practice, reset the default password which is the Instance ID of Manager VM. For other public cloud platforms, the password must be reset. Refer to the cloud-specific guide for more details:
