taking vm data from esx

ufuk

Hello,

We want to learn if it is possible to take vm data from the esx on which it is hosted and monitor the vm by this way?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Ufuk

check the switch "Poll for VMware" and then fill your ESX credential to "VMware Polling Settings".

When you add your ESX or vCenter as node to SAM, with VMWare credential, then you can see all hierarchy of machines which belongs to it.

When you click to any VM in virtualization tree, then Orion asks you, if you want add the machine as node and start to poll HW information.

Hello tomasv,

Thank you very much. So what I should do is writing the IP of esx in “add node” page which is attached? Is Wmware credential vmmanager(vcenter) user? Where should I write this credential?
