Hi guys,

I know InfoSight is amazing and the level of detail is very granular, but my company is looking at adopting VMware vRealize & vROps to monitor our entire VMware infrastructure.

Does anyone know if Nimble themselves (or a keen supporter) has developed either a vRealize Loginsight Content Pack OR vROps Management Pack? These feature packs add functionality to extract performance data out of the various components of the VMware eco-system and can then display or correlate this on a standard dashboard. It doesn't make or break our decision on Nimble, but it would strengthen it a whole lot more.

Thanks

Nick

vROps has a generic management pack for storage devices via various protocols including SMI-S (Nimble has that, it's hyper-v article but I assume it would work with the plugin too...?

Also check out the vRealize SNMP adaptor and the Nimble Storage MIB.  This may provide the performance information you're looking for.

SNMP in vROps isnt as good as it could be yet, but I'm sure they will get there.
