If you have vCenter 5.5 you will need to use the below procedure to deploy a sensor. If you have vCenter 6.0 or 6. 5 you can deploy via PowerShell. If you are on vCenter 6.7 or above you can use our automated process to deploy.
Deploy via URL using the link. This can be found by going to Settings > Sensor Status > Configure > OVF Template
https://faddomserver/Installations/Sensors/Template/NoPassFaddom-Sensor-Appliance-2024.3.1.ovf
Alternatively, you can download the OVF and VMDK files from the Faddom server.
Linux -/usr/local/tomcat9/webapps/ROOT/Installations/Sensors/TemplateWindows -
<installationdirectory>\Faddom\Tomcat\webapps\ROOT\Installations\Sensors\TemplateGo to Configure -> Networking -> Virtual switches.
Click on Add Networking
Select Virtual Machine Port Group for the Standard Switch
Confirm the target device, i.e. the Faddom sensor
Give the port group a name (we recommend
faddom-sensor-[HOSTNAME]and select All for the VLAN ID.Finish creating the port group
Click Edit on the port group and go to Security
For Promiscuous Mode, select Override then Accept
Using the VM's Edit Settings, add a network adapter to the sensor for each switch you configured and assign it to the port group you created.
Start the Sensor appliance and log in using the username faddom and the password set during the deployment and run
if configto confirm the IP addressIf needed, run
sudo ~/configip.shto define a fixed IP address for the VM and configure the newly added network adapters.
Open the Faddom Server UI, and under Settings > Sensors, add the sensor that you just configured. See Configuring A Manually Deployed Sensor for further details
Repeat for any additional ESX servers you wish to get traffic for
