Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation

Create Fleet

Use this button to create a new fleet in JMS.

Prerequisites:
  • You've completed Setting Up Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for Fleets and confirmed that the compartment where you're creating the fleet doesn't host a Maximum Security Zone configuration.
  • Ensure you have enough service limit quota to create a fleet. To check the fleet limits for your tenancy, in the navigation menu, go to Governance & Administration, Tenancy Management, and select Limits, Quotas and Usage.

Follow these instructions to create a fleet:

  1. Enter fleet details.
  2. Set Operation Log Preferences

    Create operation log: Enable it if you want operation logs for this fleet. Operation logs are necessary for auditing actions performed in the fleet by JMS, but may incur additional costs. By default, this setting is disabled.

  3. Set Java Library Usage Recording

    Record Java Library usage: Agents will periodically scan managed instances to automatically discover vulnerabilities in Java libraries used by applications, without requiring the Scan for Java library action. You can turn this off if you prefer to manually run Java library scans. By default, this setting is enabled.

  4. Enable Advanced Features

    Under Advanced features, you can enable any of the following:

    • Lifecycle management
    • Advanced usage tracking
    • Crypto event analysis
    • Performance analysis
    • JDK Flight Recorder (JFR)
    • Java migration analysis
    Note

    Only OCI administrators with the highest privileges can manage advanced features. If enabling any advanced feature, you may see an acknowledgment or policy requirements. Read the Resources for advanced features section carefully and select the appropriate options before continuing. See Enabling Advanced Features for more information.
  5. Provide Advanced Options (Optional)
    1. Expand the Advanced options section to add tags.
    2. In the Tag Fleet section, you can provide one or more unique tag key-value pairs to describe the fleet. Edit tags later under Edit Properties.
    3. To add more tags, select + Another Tag and enter the new key-value pair.
  6. (Optional) Select Show advanced options to provide one or more tags for the new fleet.
    • In the Tag Fleet section, provide a list of one or more unique tag key-value pairs to describe the fleet. (To edit these later, see Edit Properties.)
    • To add more tags, select + Another Tag and then provide the key-value pair for an additional tag.
  7. Select Next. You're prompted to review the fleet information, log configuration, and management agent configuration. Inventory logs are created by default as they're needed to store the data related to usage tracking and inventory.

    (Optional) Select Previous if you want to modify your choices.

  8. Select Create. This creates:
    • A new fleet using the information you provided.
    • The management agent install key with unlimited installations and without expiry. The install key will have the same name as the name of the fleet.
    • Log configuration with the following log group information:
      • The log group will be named: JMS_<FleetName>_Log_group
      • Inventory log object will be: <FleetName>_Inventory_log
      • If you've chosen to create an operation log object, then it will be named: <FleetName>_Operation_log
    See Log Configuration Details in the Fleet Properties to view more details.
    Note

    JMS Fleets creates a log object with a default retention period of one month. To keep the data indefinitely, you can create a Connector Hub connection between the log object and the object storage bucket.
  9. Download the installation script from the Install a management agent section. Follow the instructions in Using Installation Script section to install the management agent on your host(s). You can also download the scripts at a later date, when viewing the details of a fleet (see Fleet Tabs).
