Summary
VMware vCenter Operations is a software suite for real-time performance management of a virtual environment. Its role is to diagnose and fix the performance issues of individual components as well as the entire virtual infrastructure.
vCenter Operations Manager uses vSphere APIs to collect data. It begins collecting data shortly after installation, and collects continuously until stopped.
In vCenter Operations Manager, the virtual environment can be viewed from three different perspectives: health, risk, and efficiency. Each object in your environment is assigned these three scores and appears in one of the predefined colors based on the score.
Scorecards can be used to determine main contributors to metrics.
The heat map is a collection of rectangles of different colors and sizes. Each rectangle represents a resource in the virtual environment. The color of each rectangle is defined by one metric, the size represents the value of another.
VMware Operations Manager is not the only solution...
