PROBLEM STATEMENTIn industries such as banking, applications are complex because of multiple

layers of systems. When an application tends to scale out, analytical tracking of the data becomes a primary concern. Hence there is a need for multiple monitoring tools, which proves to be a burden on the network administrator. This makes the job of a network admin difficult in terms of tracking individual tools and executing appropriate tasks to make sure the system uptime is at the max.Unfortunately, there is not a single solution to extract data from multiple layers of system resources to provide a graphical and statistical data representation. A solution that is anAdministrative tool that incorporates multiple layers of systems like ESXi and KVM (Opensource and Proprietary). There is also a lack of options to perform operations on a group of machines.

• All in one solution to vSphere family

Network Monitor Varieties of API’s

for Virtual machines

• Effective management of the virtual environment.

THE SOLUTION

A Dashboard that could have seemless integration of everything you need to monitor on a Virtual

Environment.

n

1. Install an ESXi Hypervisor as the base VM on VMware workstation

2. Assign static IP which is to be accessed over the browser

3. Install vSphere client over the desktop and choose to install vCenter server appliance using the ovf template.

4. Observium has a simlar counterpart called Turnkey Linux server appliance.

5. Installation also prompts us to install mysql, php and most importantly snmp.

6. Configure the SNMP file to ‘public’ which makes it ready to use.

7. Once setup is done. You are good to go!
