This article explains how to create an IT Environment (ITE), deploy the OneIQ Pulse connector, and optionally connect it to a workspace so data can be collected, shared, and analyzed. An ITE represents the infrastructure being observed, such as datacenter, cloud, or container platforms, while a Workspace is a secure, shared area where this data can be viewed and analyzed with others.
Step 1 - Register at OneIQ
If not already registered, go to https://my.oneiq.com and sign up using a company email address.
Step 2 - Create a OneIQ IT Environment
An IT Environment (ITE) in OneIQ is a collection of infrastructure components—such as data centers, cloud platforms, or container platforms- that are profiled and monitored together. It defines the boundary for configuration, performance, and network data collected by OneIQ Pulse.
The free-tier license enables the deployment of any IT environment at no cost, with inventory, analytics, and seven days of historical data. This is typically sufficient for assessments, proof-of-value work, or short-term planning. A premium license adds extended history and advanced features.
To create an IT environment, log in to the OneIQ Portal, open the Overview menu, and select Discover and observe my IT environment.
Data can be shared later through a workspace if collaboration is needed.
Enter a name for the IT environment, choose the local currency from the dropdown, and select Confirm.
Step 3 - Deploy the OneIQ Pulse Connector
On the Connectors menu, select Deploy connector and choose the platform to connect.
Click Deploy connector to continue.
Select the platform from which data will be collected.
