Overview of Relationships
VMware vCenter Infrastructure Navigator is an application awareness plug-in to the vCenter Server.
Infrastructure Navigator probes the virtual machine entities inside the vCenter Server and provides application
related information.
After Infrastructure Navigator integration with vCenter Operations Manager, the application related
information is displayed in the Relationships tab under the Environment tab of the
vCenter Operations Manager.
The Relationships tab displays the relationship graph and object properties of the selected object. The object
that you select is highlighted and displayed in the middle of the graph. For all the objects that are running in
your environment, the Relationships tab displays the various types of relationships with respect to the
highlighted object.
