Deploying Metric Extensions to a Group of Targets

A metric extension must be deployed to a target in order for it to begin collecting data.

To deploy a metric extension to one or more targets:

  1. From the Enterprise menu, select Monitoring, then select Metric Extensions.
  2. From the Metric Extensions page, determine which extensions are accessible. The page displays the list of metric extensions along with target type, owner, production version and deployment information.
  3. Select the metric extension that is to be deployed.
  4. From the Actions menu, select Manage Target Deployments. The Manage Target Deployments page appears showing you on which target(s) the selected metric extension is already deployed.
  5. Return to the Metric Extensions page.
  6. Select the metric extension.
  7. From the Actions menu, select Deploy to Targets. Enterprise Manager determines whether you have "Manage Target Metrics" privilege, and only those targets where you do show up in the target selector.
  8. Add the targets where the metric extension is to be deployed and click Submit. Enterprise Manager submits a job deploying the metric extension to each of the targets. A single job is submitted per deployment request.
  9. You are automatically redirected to the Pending Operations page, which shows a list of currently scheduled, executing, or failed metric extension deploy operations. Once the deploy operation completes, the entry is removed from the pending operations table.
