Monitoring the Health of VCF Deployments

Use
VMware Infrastructure Health
to monitor the health of the
VMware Cloud Foundation
(VCF) cloud account in
VMware Aria Operations
. You can also monitor the VCF applications along with their services.
Before you start monitoring the
VMware Cloud Foundation
cloud account, you must activate and configure the
VMware Cloud Foundation
cloud account from the
Data Sources
Integrations
Add Accounts
page. The domains you want to monitor should have their vCenter and
NSX-T
configured in each domain. For more information, see Configuring VMware Cloud Foundation Cloud Account. All
VMware Cloud Foundation
domains are automatically discovered along with their connection details and the credentials of the underlying adapters for
vCenter Server
and
NSX-T
.
VMware Infrastructure Health
collects data related to availability, services, virtual machines, certificates, passwords, and active alerts for each configured
VMware Cloud Foundation
cloud account and its domains. You can view this data from the
Environment
VCF Operations
page. For more information, see the 'Monitoring VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Operations' topic in the
VMware Aria Operations
User Guide

VMware Cloud Foundation
version 4.5.1 and above, certificates and password data will be collected for the SDDC Manager, vCenter, and
