Need to get guest process collections working for VMs monitored by vFoglight.
We need to install WinRM (KB936059) to match the VM’s OS version and/or architecture.We then need to configure a default listener (port 80), allow unencrypted traffic and enable basic authentication.
Note:The admin user used in the config section of vFoglight Guest Process Collection needs to be a local account.WinRM does not support the use of domain accounts in this configuration.
Download and install the appropriate version of WinRM from Microsoft.This is listed as KB936059.
Create a default listener (port 80 is default).
Open a command prompt on the VM you’ve installed WinRM on.
Run:
winrm create winrm/config/Listener?Address=*+Transport=HTTP
Allow unencrypted traffic.
Run:
winrm set winrm/config/service @{AllowUnencrypted="true"}
Enable basic authentication.
Run:
winrm set winrm/config/service/auth @{Basic="true"}
Within a couple of minutes you should start seeing guest process information.You may need to click off and back into the Processes tab or refresh the page.
