In our last post we discussed the VMware Aria Operations Management Pack for NSX Advanced Load Balancer (formerly AVI), today we'll explore Management Pack for NSX-T. For a quick review of VMware NSX, check this video.
The latest version of the NSX-T management pack is 8.12.1 and contains three dashboards, four views, 290+ alerts, and more.
Once installed, configure an adapter instance by pointing it at your NSX Manager.
A few things to note here:
If you have multiple NSX Managers, configure an adapter instance per target, pointed at the VIP or FQDN/IP of NSX-T Manager.
Exclude Resources allows you to exclude NSX-T objects from being monitored.
Exclude Services allows you to exclude NSX-T.
You can import NSX Manager alerts if you'd like, making all notifications from Aria Operations itself. The configured adapter will pull alerts from NSX Manager every 5m (or whatever you've configured the collection cycle to be).
There are three dashboards:
NSX-T Configmax Metrics
NSX-T Inventory
NSX-T Main
The next release promises to have several more advanced dashboards, but here's one I built showing NSX-T Logical Router performance.
There are over 300 Alerts defined by the NSX-T Management Pack, some defined within Aria Operations, others consumed from NSX Manager itself.
More to come on the NSX-T Management Pack this quarter. For a list of all available management packs go here.
