From now monitor VMware is easier thanks to the adoption of a control designed to work in depth on ESX (i), vSphere, vCenter and VirtualCenter.
This control is able to deeply monitor the Host Server and all the virtual machines running on it.
The control thanks to VMware API is able to provide the following parameters:
|
NAME |
APPLICATION |
