VMware vSphere Solution in vRealize Operations Manager
The VMware vSphere solution connects vRealize Operations Manager to vCenter Server instances. You
collect data and metrics from those instances, monitor them, and run actions in them.
vRealize Operations Manager evaluates the data in your environment, identifying trends in object behavior,
calculating possible problems and future capacity for objects in your system based on those trends, and
alerting you when an object exhibits dened symptoms. The vSphere solution includes actions that you can
run on the vCenter Server from vRealize Operations Manager to manage those objects as you respond to
problems and alerts. Actions are run from toolbars in vRealize Operations Manager.
