Monitor the virtual environment that powers your critical financial systems. VMware delivers the world’s most trusted virtualisation and cloud infrastructure solutions that reduce IT complexity and enable more flexible, agile service delivery
Application Support teams need to have visibility of the health, performance and availability of their Virtual Machines (VMs) in order to be proactive and provide the best service to the business. When multiple layered operating systems are supporting their applications, it is critical to collect and analyse metrics from guest and host to ensure the best possible performance to an end user.
The VMware plug-in for Geneos monitors the VMware ESXi server by querying the web service API. By collecting key parameters from the VMware host, Geneos users are able to correlate both host and guest health with the rich application data they collect.
The VMware monitoring plug-in provides Application Support teams with a view of the entire VMware environment, drill down details to identify root causes of issues and out-of-the-box alerts to take action and fix problems promptly, all within the Geneos solution.
Users can monitor information views (host, VMware, data store) and performance views (CPU, network, memory, disk space).
Consolidated infrastructure and applications views
Consolidating the host, guest and application data together into the same interface provides the user with further insight into the real-time health and status of their trading suite. Users will also gain insight into the balance of usage across their servers to help manage capacity levels.
Alerts via SMS or email
Application and infrastructure alerts to see all VMs and datastores affected by the issue, allowing you to be proactive and fix problems quickly.
Rich data for your Geneos dashboards.
Enhance your Geneos dashboards with an understanding of the host and guest OS layers.
Geneos VMware plug-in is a Java process that uses the VMware vSphere API to continuously monitor the VMware host and associated virtual machines, delivering real-time data into the Geneos framework using the XML–RPC interface.
