Creating a MultiProcess Object for a Linux Machine (via Inventory Explorer)

1. Log into vRealize Operations using an appropriate account.

2. Select Administration.

3. Select Inventory Explorer.

4. Click Add Object.

5. At the Add Object dialog, complete the following:

• Enter the Display Name (crond).
• Select EP Ops Adapter from the Adapter Type dropdown.
• Select EP Ops Adapter < instance id> from the Adapter Instance dropdown.
• Select MultiProcess from the Object Type dropdown.
• Update the process.query field to show State.Name.eq=crond.

6. Click OK.

7. Once you have added all the MultiProcess object you desire, they should be displayed within the Inventory Explorer under Object Types > MultiProcesses

Now all that is left is to configure the appropriate Objects Relationships.
