- Troubleshoot application and workload issues in context of discovered virtual dependencies
- Understand if virtual infrastructure problems are affecting an application service
- View an interactive dependency topology map and pivot on relationships among applications, hosts, VMs, datastores, clusters, and alarm states
In a virtualized environment, performance management solutions must understand the interrelationships and dependency mapping between the workloads and the underlying infrastructure—linking infrastructure performance issues to application problems becomes a science experiment.
Older generation performance management tools have traditionally relied on time-series performance data and self-learning algorithms to correlate problems—first in the physical world and now in the virtual world. In virtualized and cloud infrastructures, that approach fails to account for the health of virtualized applications or model the context of the business in which they run.
Using the virtual application (vApp) monitoring and mapping features in SolarWinds Virtualization Manager, you can relate the virtual infrastructure to the critical application services it delivers.
- Visualize dependencies between key applications and the virtual infrastructure
- Triage application issues and understand possible virtualized infrastructure causes
- Understand applications affected by virtualized infrastructure problems and prioritize fixes
- Create searches, trends, alerts and dashboards targeted to monitor key application health
Virtual application monitoring has never been easier.
