What is VMware VSphere?
VMware vSphere is a virtualization and cloud computing software suite developed by VMware. It's based on a hypervisor that manages virtual machines, physical hosts, and various VMware environment options.
vSphere provides a range of advanced configurations to manage enterprise virtual environments. It offers features such as automated load balancing, business continuity, power management, and the ability to move virtual machines across physical servers with no downtime.
How to monitor VMWare VSphere?
ServicePilot makes it easy to monitor a VMWare VSphere environment requiring minimal configuration on the target vCenter APIs enabled device. A resource of the server-vmware-vsphere package then needs to be added via the ServicePilot web interface.
The monitoring statistics gathered in this way include:
- System: CPU and Memory utilization
- Storage: physical disk utilization
- Network: interface status and utilization
Host and guest machines are monitored.
How to install a vmware-vsphere resource?
- Use your ServicePilot OnPremise installation or a SaaS account.
- Add a new vmware-vsphere resource via the web interface (
/prmviewsor/prmresources) or via API (/prmpackagespage), the default ServicePilot agent or another agent will be provisioned automatically.
Details of the vmware-vsphere package are located in the
/prmpackagespage of the software.
