Verify Communication Between Monitored Device and
Insight RS
To verify communication between your monitored device and Insight RS, complete the following steps:
Verify Collections
You can verify that the ESXi server has been discovered and configured correctly by running collections
on the server. Because ESXi cannot send test events, communication can be verified with collections
because both event monitoring and collections use the WBEM protocol you configured earlier.
After discovery, a Server Basic Configuration Collection is automatically run for the ESXi server. Verify
that this collection ran successfully on the Collection Services → Basic Collection Results tab in the
Insight RS Console. Note that there is a delay between when discovery finishes and when the collection
runs. See the Insight RS Console Help for information about scheduling collections.
