Objectives

In this Exercise you will learn how to create the Managed Gateway in Monitor.

Before you begin:
This Exercise requires that you have:

  1. completed the pre-requisites required for all labs
  2. completed the previous exercises

Login to MAS and navigate to Monitor: MAS Monitor

Expand Setup in the left menu and select Gateway: Create Gateway

New in MAS 9.0

Gateways can now be created and managed in the Monitor UI.

Select Add gateway: Create Gateway

Define the gateway ID XX_MGT_GW_01 and the gateway Type XX_MGT_GW.

Tip

XX in the gateway ID and Type should be your initials in case other people are following this lab in the same Maximo Application Suite environment.

Make sure the gateway Configuration is Managed and click Save: Create Gateway

New in MAS 9.0

The Managed Gateway is a new type of gateway introduced in MAS Monitor 9.0.
It is an integrated flow in Monitor, which removes/replaces the tedious and error prone manual process of defining an Edge Data Collector Integration in prior versions.

You will now see your new Managed Gateway, including a Managed tag in both the list of Gateways as well as in the gateway definition: Create Gateway

New in MAS 9.0

Credentials are automatically "baked into" the docker image for the Managed Gateway.
This means you no longer have to write down the credentials for this type of gateway and then enter that information manually into the configuration of the Maximo Monitor End-point. This is much more streamlined and eliminate the risk of error when manually entering the credentials.
It also means that the credentials will not be presented to you, as you no longer need them.

Congratulations you have successfully created the Managed Gateway in Monitor.
