Perform On-premise Vantage Point Prerequisite Tasks

Here are the prerequisite tasks that must be performed before you set up an On-premise Vantage Point.

Application Performance Monitoring Availability On-premise Vantage Point

Task Description More Information
Complete the Worker requirements.

You need to install an Availability On-premise Vantage Point Worker, also known as Worker in a VM instance.

The VM instance must meet the following minimum requirements before installing the Worker:
  1. Hardware Requirements:
    1. Non-Browser Worker
      • CPU count: 2
      • RAM: 1 Gb
      • Hard disk space: 5 Gb
    2. Browser Worker
      • CPU count: 2
      • RAM: 2 Gb
      • Hard disk space: 5 Gb
  2. Environment Requirements:
    The Worker can be installed in a standalone compute (VM instance) or a Kubernetes cluster.
    • Operating System supported : Oracle Linux x64.
    • For standalone compute, Colima, Docker Engine or Podman must be installed on it.
    • For Kubernetes cluster, Kubernetes version 1.25 and above are supported.
    • For Container Instance, AMD and other processors expect ARM based processors.
 For information about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE), see Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE).
Create rules and policies to assign permissions to dynamic group.
  1. Create a Dynamic Group based on the following rule to allow all Worker resources with resource-type apmsyntheticopvpworker in a specified compartment of customer tenancy:
    All {resource.type='apmsyntheticopvpworker', resource.compartment.id='<customer_compartment_ocid>'}
  2. Create a policy in the tenancy to allow the dynamic group to use the Workers to communicate with APM service.
    The dynamic group contains one or more Workers which customer allows to fetch monitor payloads.
    Allow Dynamic-group <dynamic_group_name> to use apm-domains in compartment <compartment-name> where request.permission='APM_DOMAIN_SYN_WORKER_UPDATE'
    Users allow one or more Worker to fetch payloads in APM domains of specific compartment.
    Allow Dynamic-group synthetic-rp-dg to use apm-domains in compartment <compartment-name> where request.permission='APM_DOMAIN_SYN_WORKER_UPDATE'
