Introduction
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) reduces downtime and data loss by enabling fast, reliable recovery of on-premises and cloud-based applications with cost-effective storage, minimal compute usage, and point-in-time recovery. To get started, set up AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery on your source servers for secure data replication. The data is replicated to a staging area subnet within your selected AWS Region, leveraging a cost-efficient design that uses affordable storage and minimal compute resources for ongoing replication.
Use the OpsRamp AWS Public Cloud integration to discover and collect metrics for AWS DRS Source Servers
.
Setup
To set up the AWS integration and discover the DRS Source Servers resources, do the following:
- Create an AWS Integration if not available in your installed integrations. For more information on how to install AWS Integration, refer to Installation and Configuration.
- Select
DRS Source Servers
under the Filter Criteria on the Edit Discovery Profile page. - Save the discovery profile to make them available in the list of Discovery Profiles.
- Scan to discover the resources at any time independent of the predefined schedule.
- Once the scan is completed, you can view the DRS Source Servers resources under Infrastructure > Resources > AWS category.
- Create a template with collector type AWS and applicable for DRS Source Servers. See Create a Template for more information on how to create a template.
- Refer to Assign a Template on how to assign a template to a resource.
- Click the Metrics tab to view the monitoring data of the DRS Source Servers.
Event support
CloudTrail Event support
OpsRamp supports AWS Cloud trail events for the DRS Source Servers [CreateSourceServerForDrs, DeleteSourceServer]. Configure Stream CloudTrail messages in Opsramp AWS integration discovery profile.
CloudWatch Alarm support
OpsRamp supports AWS Cloud Watch Alarms for the DRS Source Servers.
