Auto-enable Hosts for the Service

Auto-enable allows Ops Insights to automatically add new compute instances whenever they are added into a host or tenancy. Auto-enable will also listen for deletion events and remove instances when deleted.

Turn ON Auto-enable

To allow Auto-enable to automatically add compute instances added into a host or tenancy, navigate to the Host Fleet Administration page by clicking on the left hand menu: Ops Insights then Administration and lastly Host fleet.

Under Scope in the left hand menu select the compartment or tenancy you wish to configure for Auto-enable.

Once the Host Fleet Administration page loads, a note at the top will display Auto-enable is currently OFF in this compartment, click on Manage Auto-enable rules to configure Auto-enable.
  • Verify the compartment or tenancy selected is correct, if not close the pop up and select the correct compartment or tenancy.
    Note

    Enabling Auto-enable for tenancy will enable it for all child compartments within the tenancy as well.
  • Checkmark the Automatically enable Ops Insights for newly provisioned instances in this compartment option.
Once complete click Save Changes. Auto-enable is now turned on. Once enabled Ops Insights will now start to bill and display for all new hosts created in the specified compartment or tenancy.
