Architecture

Each VVF & VCF addon is structured to deliver a comprehensive set of functions, which can be broken down into distinct stages that work together to optimize monitoring and improve operational efficiency. From gathering data through specific adapters to advanced visualization and alerting, these addons ensure that organizations can proactively manage their infrastructure with detailed insights. Below are the key components and processes that make up the architecture of the VVF & VCF Addons provided by INDEVOPS:

1. Data Collection: VVF & VCF Addons gather data from external devices and applications using specific adapters tailored for each integration.

2. Data Ingestion: The collected data is ingested into VMware Aria Operations.

3. Data Processing: Incoming data from the collected objects is analyzed and used to establish relationships between these objects.

4. Visualization: The data from the organization’s environment is visualized in real-time on interactive dashboards, enabling administrators to monitor the health and performance of their systems.

5. Alerting & Reporting: VVF & VCF Addons may include built-in alarms that allow for more effective monitoring of the environment, while reports can be created on-demand or scheduled for regular intervals to provide ongoing insights and performance tracking.

6. Additional Features: Depending on the VVF & VCF Addon selected by the organization, additional features such as built-in custom groups, policies, and automation capabilities may be included to further enhance monitoring and management.
