Course Description
So many enterprises virtualize their most critical applications with vSphere. VMware vSphere is a powerful and advanced virtualization platform for the modern datacenter, but it still requires a knowledgeable administrator to monitor and configure it in order to prevent and solve problems. In this course, vSphere 6 Foundations: Perform Basic Monitoring, you'll learn how to monitor many aspects of VMware vSphere. First, you'll learn how to monitor tasks and events, keep track of metrics with performance charts, configure SNMP and STMP and more! Next, you'll move onto creating and administering vCenter server alarms. Finally, you'll learn how to install and configure vRealize Operations Manager (vROPS), how it uses badges, and how you can use it to monitor vSphere's infrastructure. By the end of this course, you'll be able to perform many monitoring functions as an administrator within vSphere.
