vSphere
Introduction
VMware vSphere is a cloud computing virtualization platform that provides a suite of products designed to help organizations manage their virtualized data centers efficiently.
Getting Started
Compatibility
vuSmartMaps enables monitoring of vSphere metrics through the vCenter URL endpoint, with metrics collected using a pull mechanism. This VuNet agent officially supports vSphere versions 6.5, 6.7, 7.0, and 8.0. While it may work with versions 5.1, 5.5, and 6.0, these versions are not officially supported.
Data Collection Method
vuSmartMaps collects health and performance data for vSphere using VuNet's Internal Data Collector.
Prerequisites
Dependent Configuration
To configure this O11ySource, create a 'credential' of type 'user' under the 'Definition' tab.
Inputs for Configuring Data Source
- vSphere Cluster: The IP Address/FQDN of the vSphere Cluster. This field is the key to identify each server you add here.
- vCenter URL: The vCenter URL endpoint for vSphere Cluster. Eg. http://vcenter.local/sdk or https://vcenter.local/sdk
- Authentication Credential: vCenter authentication credential for the endpoint to communicate?
- Period (in seconds): Time interval for polling data from the Vault Server. Period should be between 60 seconds – 3000 seconds.
Firewall Requirement
To collect data from this O11ySource, ensure the following ports are opened:
| Source IP | Destination IP | Destination Port | Protocol | Direction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| vuSmartMaps IP | vCenter Server | 443* | TCP | Outbound |
*Before providing the firewall requirements, please update the port based on the customer environment.
Configuring the Target
Health and Performance metrics from vSphere are collected using vCenter endpoint. The VuNet agent uses the vSphere API to gather metrics from multiple vCenter servers.
Configuration Steps
Enablethe O11ySource.- Select the sources tab and press the
+button to add a new instance that has to be monitored. - Provide the required configurations:
-
- vSphere Cluster
-
- vCenter URL
-
- Authentication Credential
-
- Period (in seconds)
