3.5 vSAN Operations
To achieve an even greater insight to vSAN operations, the VMware vRealize Operations Management Pack™ can be added to a pre-existing vRealize Operations Suite installation.
The management pack offers several out-of-the-box dashboards with relevant information on the vSAN activities:
• Global View to monitor and proactively alert/notify across multiple vSAN clusters, including device and cluster insights, entity usage, heat maps, VMs, hosts, datastores, and disk group relationships.
• Health Monitoring and Availability View to assess device connectivity issues, failures, network congestions, SSD life, and disk failures.
• Performance View to evaluate aggregated data on throughput performance and latencies at the disk group and hard disk level (both SSD and HDD).
• Capacity View to monitor disk usage and perform capacity planning based on simulation scenarios.
