vCenter AIM Monitoring Recommendations

The SystemEDGE agent provides a plug-in architecture through which it can load optional application insight modules (AIMs) when it initializes. AIMs are functional extensions to the SystemEDGE agent. For example, the vCenter AIM enables SystemEDGE to manage vSphere environments through VMware vCenter Servers.

The vCenter AIM (Application Insight Module) is a pluggable component implemented within the SystemEDGE framework. As such, the data that it publishes is available to multiple SNMP Managers. Products such as CA Virtual Assurance Manager, eHealth, and Spectrum IM can leverage this data.

Due to the possibility of this component being utilized outside of the CA Virtual Assurance Manager, scalability recommendations are specified separately. Two main scalability considerations are discussed:
