When you enable the Monitor system via MAPI signal for a source, HCM uses the HCP S management API (MAPI) to gather object storage metrics.
To configure HCP S to allow MAPI access:
- Log into the HCP S System Management Console.
- Select Configuration.
- Select MAPI.
- In the Access Control Allow and Deny lists, make sure that the HCP S system allows MAPI access to all IP addresses in the HCM system. You can do this, for example, by adding all HCM system instance IP addresses to the Allow list.
- Click Save Settings.
To collect data using MAPI, HCM needs the username and password for an HCP S system-level user account.
If you don't have an HCP S user account:
- Log into the HCP S System Management Console.
- Click the System tab.
- Click the Users tab.
- Click Create.
- Specify a username, full name, and password for the account.
- Ensure that Enable account is selected.
- On the Roles tab, at a minimum, select the Administrator role.
- Click Create User Account.
