Management Pack Updates in VCF 5.2 (Aria Operations 8.18)

Aria 8.18 (in VCF 5.2) dropped a couple months ago with all sorts of updates, we've covered many of them in previous blogs. But, hidden behind the scenes were updates to six Operations Management Packs:

• Microsoft SQL Server

• Oracle Database

• MySQL

• PostgreSQL

• Network Devices

• NSX Advanced Load Balancer

Release Notes can be found here. For the Database related Management Packs we consolidated Dashboards and added consistent tagging for ease of use. Here are the Dashboards in each of the four Database Management Packs.

As you can see, we're more focused on the Database technology itself, along with the Infrastructure they are running on. Two of the Microsoft SQL Server Dashboards now look like this.

The two Oracle Database Dashboards now look like this, giving you direct visibility into the Oracle Databases and VMs they are running on.

Beyond the Database Management Pack updates in VCF 5.2, we also updated the Network Devices and NSX Advanced Load Balancer Management Packs. Specifically, the Network Devices Management Pack now includes vendor-specific Dashboards for Cisco, Dell, HPE, and Lenovo.

Finally, the NSX Advanced Load Blancer Management Pack now includes a Dashboard highlighting license consumption.
