Installing Watson AIOps extensions

After you purchase an extension, follow these instructions to install your IBM Watson® AIOps extension.

For organizations that are responsible for application and network infrastructure management, IBM Watson AIOps has two optional extensions. These extensions are not meant for separate deployment and do not include entitlement for Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform.

Installing the Advanced Agile Discovery extension

The Advanced Agile Discovery extension (formerly known as the application discovery and network discovery services in IBM® Netcool® Agile Service Manager) requires a separate license from Watson™ AIOps. After you obtain your license from IBM Passport Advantage®, if an IBM Watson AIOps Event Manager instance is not created, you can activate the extension during Event Manager instance creation. To activate the extension, complete the following steps:

  1. From the OpenShift console, click Operators > Installed Operators, and select the Watson AIOps operator. Under Provided APIs, select Cloud Deployment, then select Create Instance.

  2. From the OpenShift console, use the YAML editor to change the values of netDisco and appDisco from false to true.

     netDisco: true
       appDisco:
         enabled: true
    

    Note: If you have an active Event Manager instance, you can edit these values in your existing YAML file by running the following command:

     oc edit noi.aiops.watson.ibm.com <noi-instance-name>
    

    Where <noi-instance-name> is the name of the instance that you want to edit. You can then select to enable or disable the feature or observer.

  3. Click Create.

    Your Event Manager instance now has the Advanced Agile Discovery extension deployed.

After you install the Advanced Agile Discovery extension, you can configure the application and network discovery services. For more information about configuring the services, see Configuring application discovery service and Configuring network discovery services.

Installing the Network Manager extension

The Network Manager extension is an on premises extension that provides organizations with a means for using earlier versions of IBM Netcool Network Management and IBM Netcool Operations Insight® -- Network Management with a path to IBM Watson AIOps while continuing to manage discovery and manage their physical and virtual network infrastructure. To install the Network Manager extension, see Installing Network Management.
