Certified Smart Plug-in for VMware for HP Software Operations Manager. An agentless way to bring VMware monitoring into your enterprise management console Leverage your investment in HP Software Operations Manager to confidently give operations personnel the ability to assume routine VMware infrastructure monitoring. Free up VMware professionals to focus on troubleshooting, capacity planning and other specialized tasks.
The innovative nworks Collector does not require agent software on ESX hosts, which eliminates any risk of agent software impacting ESX availability. Because the nworks SPI uses the VMware API, ESXi is fully supported.
Version 4.0 includes new features such as CIM SMASH hardware sensor status and alerts, graphical representations of data stores, flexible collection intervals, VirtualCenter 2.5 performance counters, and more!
The nworks SPI provides access to 300 VMware-specific metrics – data like CPU, memory, disk and network utilization by host and guest. It also provides access to VMware-specific health and performance metrics like CPU % Ready and Balloon Memory, and can provide composite information around VMware clusters and resource pools. The SPI also includes the event stream from VirtualCenter, VMware topology and configuration information and a dynamic service map of your virtual environment.
