VCF Operations Certificate Visibility

We've discussed both vCenter and ESXi Host Certificate visibility available in VCF Operations before, but what if you'd like to re-create the list of Certificates provided here. Note: all screenshots here are taken from VCF Operations 8.18.5.

Clicking on VIEW CERTIFICATES shows the details.

We can export these via the EXPORT to CSV button, but what if we want to see them in a Dashboard. We already have a way to do that for the vCenter TLS/STS/Root Certificates, but what about the Aria VMs? They key here is to recognize that the VMware Infrastructure Health Management Pack is providing these, so let's start there.

As you can see, these are all Certificate Object Types, so we just need a View using them. I've created mine like this.

Since there is no VMware Infrastructure Health World Object, I created a Custom Group of all Certificates.

Next I created a Dashboard, using this View and Custom Group.

The resulting Dashboard looks like this.

If you'd like this Dashboard, View, and Custom Group you can get them here. Hope this was helpful!
