• Leverage Provider VDC structure in vCenter Server (clusters / resource pools) and assign access only to those that contain workloads to be monitored
• To avoid incorrect capacity calculations, set Exclude Virtual Machines from Capacity Calculations to true in the Advanced Settings of vSphere Adapter
• Guest level monitoring for virtual machines
• Capacity calculations is based on ESXi host demand
• Licensing is based on monitored virtual machines
