8.1.2 Use Case
A vCloud-powered service provider has deployed two vSphere HA/DRS clusters. The first cluster hosts their management stack and the second cluster hosts the customer’s actual vCloud workloads and maps directly to a provider virtual datacenter. The service provider agreed to SLAs and wants a dashboard interface to display the data.
The service provider needs custom alerting in the case that SLAs are not met.
The service provider must monitor the following key metrics related to a virtual environment:
Resource cluster
CPU, memory, storage, and network.
External network switches.
Capacity (consumed and remaining).
Management cluster:
Specific SQL databases (vCenter and vCloud Director).
vCloud Director
cell transfer disk space.
