5.1.1 Platform Monitoring and Alerting
Monitoring of the platform and alerting in the event of a component failure can be achieved through existing tools. However, if there are no existing solutions in place, VMware recommends that the provider bring this solution under the management of the VMware vRealize® Operations™ ecosystem which gives the provider the following key functions:
• Centralized monitoring and alerting (performance and fault data)
o Compute
o Networking (VMware NSX MP)
o Storage (Storage MP)
o Applications
• Centralized capacity management and planning
• Root cause analysis of identified faults
• Log management and analysis to support root cause
• Operational reporting capabilities
