9.1.2.2. vCloud Consumer Workloads
It might be desirable to monitor workloads provisioned by vCloud consumers. vCloud Director does not provide any built-in monitoring of workloads for availability or performance. Several third-party solutions are available to monitor vSphere resources and workloads running on vSphere; however, not all of these solutions may work all of the time when vCloud Director is in use. Isolated networking in vApps may prevent monitoring tools from acquiring the performance or availability information of a vApp. Furthermore, vApps may be provisioned and de-provisioned or power-cycled at any time by a vCloud consumer and these actions may create false positives in the monitoring environment. Until there are solutions in the market that are fully integrated with vCloud Director, it may be difficult to provide detailed monitoring for vCloud consumer workloads.
