Notes from this - June 2018 - YouTube video:
Expanding Further Adoption of OCI through
Integrations - VMware Performance Metrics and VM Folder Structures
Recap of Previous
Webinars
Best Practices for Managing OCI Servers:
- Daily Tasks (i.e. Data Sources, Health Server Page)
- Weekly Tasks (i.e. Performance Policies, Scripts)
- Monthly Tasks (i.e. Device Resolution, Annotations)
- Quarterly Tasks (i.e Upgrades, Service Packs, Patches)
Solution
- Leveraging OCI’s Integration API, customers can pull in
external performance metrics for their business and operational needs.
- Data Collectors from the Automation Store have-the-ability
to:
--- Pull in VMware related metric for deeper analysis
into virtual infrastructures
--- Pull in VMware folder structures to tag assets
with OCI business entities.

Will create ‘Business Entities’ based on the folder
structure in the VMware vCenter.
How Customers Leverage
This Today
Custom Dashboards
- Business Entity filters are leveraged to view VM’s
within specific vSphere structures for better business operational context.
Custom Reports
- VM Entitlement and Demand metrics are ported into the
DWH (available through NetApp Professional Services) for capacity planning
activities.

“There are reasons why we don’t bring in every metric
available - this has to do with scalability and responsiveness.”
