We recommend that you name the directory /var/log/vmware, or something similar. On the server, host, or VM create a directory in which to put the Sumo Logic scripts from Sumo Logic Scripts for VMware.To install and configure the Sumo Logic scripts, do the following: Lastly, it provides instructions for configuring the path to run the scripts, whether on a vCenter server, host, or VM. This section walks you through the process of installing Sumo Logic scripts for events and metrics on a vCenter server, or another host with access to vCenter API. Installing Sumo Logic scripts on a vCenter server, another host, or VM Install the Sumo Logic scripts for events and metrics on a vCenter server, or another host with access to vCenter API’s. If you have an existing VM, you can go directly to Installing the Sumo Logic scripts on a VM and proceed with following the instructions. You can use the following method for setting up a server to collect data for the VMware App: Step 1: Set up a server, host, or VM to collect data This section provides instructions for collecting logs and metrics for VMware. The App enables you to monitor vCenter, ESXi hosts and VM metrics and events. The VMware App collects logs and metrics from your VMware cloud computing virtualization platform, then displays the data in predefined dashboards. The Sumo Logic scripts required to work with the app are located here: sumo-vsphere-ulm.zip.Ĭollecting Logs and Metrics for the VMware App The VMware App works with vCenter and vSphere 6.5, 6.7, and 7.0. The following image illustrates the collection process. The dashboards provide real-time monitoring with visual data displays, allowing you to analyze events and performance metrics for efficient detection and troubleshooting. For more information, see Performance API. VMWare Metrics using the Performance API.The Sumo Logic vCenter logs source and vCenter metrics source use the installed collector to gather the following data from VMWare:
See the vSphere product page for more information on VMware hybrid cloud. This enables you to determine capacity constraints and troubleshoot operational issues related to over-provisioning, changes to configuration, and VM movement. The dashboards provide insight into key events and metrics such as VM CPU, memory, disk utilization, under-provisioned physical hosts, and idle VMs.
The VMware App uses unified logs and metrics from the VMware cloud computing virtualization platform to enable monitoring of vCenter, ESXi hosts and individual virtual machines metrics with real-time date displayed in predefined dashboards.
