Configure Service Discovery
The
Service Discovery
plugin connects with the vRealize
Operations Manager product. This plug-in provides fabric admins with more information to
better manage VMs at large scale. VMware Tools already collects some data from VMs, but it
is not sufficient. This plug-in collects additional data and relays it to vRealize
Operations Manager if the management feature is enabled. The plugin is enabled by default
and can be disabled at any time by the guest administrator inside the guest.Ensure that 'vsock' driver is
present or installed in windows guest successfully.
