Setup For Monitoring

This Opspack requires either UCS Manager or CIMC Supervisor. The API server URL will be the IP address of either the UCS Manager or the CIMC Supervisor starting with https://
Each Host Template requires the name of the object being monitored. This can be retrieved from the Distinguised Name (DN) of the object. For example, to monitor a chassis with DN 'sys/chassis-1', enter 'chassis-1' as the Chassis Name.
Opsview will require a read-only user on your UCS system.
