Monitoring and Managing Resources
Different vRealize Automation roles monitor resource usage and manage infrastructure in different ways.
Choosing a Resource Monitoring Scenario
Fabric administrators, tenant administrators, and business group managers have different concerns when
it comes to resource monitoring. Because of this, vRealize Automation allows you to monitor different
facets of resource usage.
For example, a fabric administrator is concerned with monitoring the resource consumption of
reservations and compute resources, whereas a tenant administrator is concerned with the resource
usage of the provisioning groups within a tenant. Depending on your role and the specific resource usage
you want to monitor, vRealize Automation allows you different ways to track resource consumption.
