8.1.4 vCenter Operations Manager and vFabric Hyperic Integration
As detailed in the previous section, Hyperic is used as a source of data for vCenter Operations Manager from individual key vCloud infrastructure management servers. This proxy functions as a result of the vCenter Operations Manager Hyperic adapter that is installed and enables the required process and service information to be presented to vCenter Operations Manager.
Figure 46. vCenter Operations Manager and Hyperic Integration
As shown in the figure, vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise supports the Hyperic Adapter which enables the exchange of information between vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise and Hyperic HQ data. The adapter’s functionality includes the following:
Connects to and collects data from Hyperic HQ.
Transforms the collected data into the format vCenter Operations Enterprise is designed to consume.
Passes the data to the vCenter Operations Enterprise collector for final processing.
In addition to the standard adapter functions, the adapter supports manual and auto discovery and the ability to create relationships based on the associations found in Hyperic HQ.
