The syslog system design forms only part of the service provider infrastructure management story. VMware also provides a full set of tools to manage and monitor any size or type of virtual, physical, heterogeneous, or hybrid end-to-end environment.

The following figure shows a VMware provider-based management network operations center (NOC). Although addressing the additional cloud management components in the figure is out of scope for this document, be aware of the relevance of these other management tools and how they integrate with and extend the functionality of a vRealize Log Insight deployment.
