IT monitoring integration company Blue Medora recently introduced new ServiceNow capabilities in its True Visibility Suite for VMware vRealize Operations at VMworld US. The idea is to help enterprises looking for simpler as well as comprehensive insights into their IT environments from an application or business-centric context.
Most of us SCOM users have our servers and infrastructure pieces monitored – but more often than not, the hypervisor remains a big black box where there is no level of monitoring whatsoever. Any kind of outages that come from that lack of monitoring blindside our administrators, and people eventually grow to lose confidence in the platform itself.
Hey folks, it’s that time of year again. I’m not talking about the end of summer; I’m talking about VMworld, of course! VMworld has been my jam for the last few years here at LogicMonitor, but this year I’m focused on some other cool projects hitting the market soon, including LM Exchange (you may have seen a sneak preview if you attended our inaugural user conference, Level Up).
We have recently finished updating the so that it can natively integrate with a vCenter cluster, making monitoring a VMware vCenter cluster simple and easy. Now, by providing some basic information to the OnSight, Panopta can discover all the hosts, clusters, datastores, and virtual machines you have running in that environment and immediately begin pulling default metrics for those instances.
LogicMonitor’s current monitoring coverage for VMware’s vCenter is best-in-class: from a single device in your portal, you can see every component of your virtual environment and their respective performance metrics: hosts, clusters, virtual machines, resource pools, datastores, virtual switches, networks, snapshots, and more.
We recently released our Networking Devices Management Pack for VMware vRealize Operations (vROps). This management pack allows users to monitor any network device supporting SNMP. The vROps adapter connects to network devices via either SNMP v2c or v3 and captures available performance and capacity metrics. The management pack also relates devices to VMWare ESXi Hosts, providing troubleshooting capabilities between the virtual and network layers.

Quite often I run projects at existing VMware customers that are building a new Digital Workspace. And quite often, that Digital Workspace contains a VDI. Especially when a customer is already using VMware technology in their data center, vRealize Operations (vROps) is used to monitor the environment. Although vROps is a great solution, it’s not really sufficient to monitor the desktop side of things.
We recently released the Arista Extensible Operating System (EOS) management pack for VMware vRealize Operations Manager (vROps). This grows our network monitoring portfolio to include Arista EOS, Cisco, Citrix, F5, Lenovo, and Palo Alto Networks. Extending vROps into your network layer allows users to monitor and troubleshoot their network devices, in this case, Arista EOS switches, alongside their VMware VMs and ESXi Hosts.
