Step 7: Initialize and Verify Telemetry

Prerequisites

Ensure that the nodes are powered on and accessible via BMC.

Steps

To initiate the iDRAC telemetry service on the service cluster, run the telemetry.yml playbook:
```
cd telemetry
ansible-playbook telemetry.yml
```

Note

Service cluster metadata automatically captures the service cluster kube control plane virtual IP. As a result, the telemetry.yml playbook is executed against the VIP rather than an individual control plane node.

Note

You do not need to run telemetry.yml if the service cluster is configured only for LDMS. By default, LDMS begins collecting data after the nodes are deployed with the appropriate configuration.

Collect Telemetry from External Nodes

To collect telemetry from the external nodes, do the following:

Update the BMC IP of the external nodes in the /opt/omnia/telemetry/bmc_group_data.csv. The GROUP_NAME and PARENT fields must be left blank.
Run the telemetry.yml playbook using the following command:
```
ansible-playbook telemetry.yml
```

Sample:

BMC_IP,GROUP_NAME,PARENT
<IP Address>,,
