1. Navigate to Event Management > Event Connectors (Pull) > Connector Instances.
2. Click New and create a Hyperic connector instance with the following details:

   Field	Value
   Name	Specify a unique name for the Hyperic connector instance.
   Host IP	Specify the Hyperic IP address.
   Credential	In the Credentials form, click New and create the required credentials. Save the credentials using a unique and recognizable name, for example, HypericOPS.
   Schedule (seconds)	The frequency in seconds that the system checks for new events from Hyperic.
   Description	Type a description for the use of the Hyperic event collection instance.
   Connector definition	The vendor and protocol used to gather events from the external event source. Select the Hyperic connector definition.
   Last error message	The last error message is automatically updated.
   Last run time	The last run time value is automatically updated.
   Last run status	The last run time status is automatically updated.
   MID Servers (MID Server for Connectors section)	Optional. Name of a MID Server. If no MID Server is specified, an available MID Server that has a matching IP range is used. In the MID Servers for Connectors section, specify a MID Server that is up and valid. You can configure several MID Servers. If the first is down, the next MID Server is used. If that MID Server is not available, the next is selected, and so on. MID Servers are sorted according to the order that their details were entered into the MID Server for Connectors section.

3. Right-click the form header and select Save.
   The connector instance values are added to the form and the parameters that are relevant to the connector appear.
4. In the Connector Parameters section, specify the values of the mandatory Hyperic parameters.
   1. port Default value 7080.
   2. protocol Default value http.
5. Click Test connector to verify the connection between the MID Server and the Hyperic connector.
6. If the test fails, follow the instructions that are issued by the error to correct the problem and then run another test.
   Note: Use a network tool, such as ping, to verify credential correctness and network connectivity from the MID Server to the Hyperic server.
7. After a successful test, select the Active check box and then click Update.
