Introduction

This plug-in installs extensions that will collect metrics for the Envision product. Requires the Network Director or Policy Manager Services features.

  • This plug-in is required if you are using separate containers for Policy Manager and Network Director.
  • The plug-in is installed to the Policy Manager container as part of the Envision Policy Manager Console Extension Feature and must be installed separately to the Network Director container.
  • If you have the Network Director feature installed on the Policy Manager container, installation of this feature is not required as the plug-in is already installed as part of the Envision Policy Manager Console Extension Feature.
  • Having the plug-in installed on both Policy Manager and Network Director containers enables the ability to extract data from various payloads using the Business Metrics Policy.

  2. On the Available Features screen, select Plug-ins from the Filter menu.
  3. Select the Envision Metrics Collector Feature plug-in and click Install Feature.
