5.9 vRealize Operations Manager
The role of vRealize Operations Manager is to monitor performance and capacity of management cluster and resource groups as well as integrate with vCloud Director to provide useful provider centric metrics. Examples include provider VDC utilization, oversubscription, and organization VDC utilization.
Additionally, service providers can monitor (subset) of tenant workloads for managed services use cases.
The following management packs can be used to extend vRealize Operations Manager monitoring beyond vSphere objects:
• MP for Endpoint Operations (guest level monitoring)
• MP for vCloud Director (correlation of vSphere workloads with vCloud Director objects)
• MP for VMware NSX for vSphere
• MP for VMware vSAN
• MP for vRealize Log Insight (integration for faster troubleshooting)
vRealize Operations Manager provides a way to exclude monitoring of certain resources and thus optimize VMware Cloud Provider Program licensing. The actual VMware Cloud Provider Programming licensing reporting can be then provided through vRealize Operations Manager super metrics and reports.
