Poor-mans VMAN Auto Manage Nodes without VMAN

One possible route you could take would be to develop scripts using PowerCLI​, you could then integrate the scripts you've written into alert actions. Unfortunately, as far as building in that functionality into the web console outside of various alert actions, I don't this would be possible.

Hello.

Do you have NPM or SAM in use? If so you should be able to see lots of hypervisor info without the paid VMAN: Monitor virtual infrastructure

Best regards,

I guess I should put it out there, just to set the correct expectation, VMAN doesn't have any "auto manage all VM's as nodes" feature anyway.  It does collect a baseline set of stats about all vm's that includes cpu load, memory used, and network used but it does not turn them into SAM/NPM nodes unless you click a button on each individual VM to do so.  You could take the list of all VM's that are not being monitored as nodes and use that to make a discovery, but you can do that with the basic virtualization monitoring that is part of the core platform, with or without VMAN that part is the same.
