Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

How to Use VMware vCloud Event Discovery
This task includes the following steps:
-
Prerequisite – Configuration in VMware vCloud
Go to VMware vCloud Director > System > Administrator > Administration pane > System Settings > Extensibility > Settings tab:
- Under Notifications, select Enable Notifications to enable non-blocking AMQP notifications of all system events.
-
Under AMQP Broker settings, fill in the following fields:
- AMQP host. The host name for the AMQP server
- AMQP port. The port number for the AMQP server. The default value is 5672.
- Exchange. The exchange for events. The default value is vcd.notifications20.
- vHost. The virtual host for AMQP. The default value is /.
- Prefix. The prefix of exchange. The default value is vcd.
- User Name. The user name of the AMQP account.
- Password: The password of the AMQP account.
-
Prerequisite – Configuration in UCMDB
- Create a vCloud protocol to access vCloud.
-
Create an AMQP protocol for the AMQP server.
Because the AMQP settings are already configured in vCloud, you can retrieve all these settings except the password. The vCloud Event Monitor job reads the settings from vCloud first. If some of the settings are not configured in vCloud, the settings in UCMDB AMQP protocol will be used.
For details on how to create a protocol, see the Protocol Parameter Dialog Box section in the HPE Universal CMDB Data Flow Management Guide document.
For credential information, see Supported Protocols.
-
Run the discovery
-
Run the vCloud Director URL by vCloud API or vCloud Director by vCloud API job to discover vCloud Director.
For details on how to discover vCloud Director, see How to Discover vCloud by URL and How to Discover vCloud by vCloud Director.
-
Wait until the preceding job is finished. VMware vCloud Director CI should be discovered.
- Run the vCloud Event Monitor job to monitor events from the AMQP server.
-
Wait for vCloud events.
Note The vCloud Event Monitor job only works on Jython 2.7 that is bundled with UCMDB 10.22 or later. This is because the driver of the AMQP protocol only supports Jython 2.7.
For details on running jobs, refer to "Module/Job-Based Discovery" in the HPE Universal CMDB Data Flow Management Guide.
