VKernel, a provider of capacity management and performance monitoring products for virtualized data centers and cloud environments, announced the addition of a new free utility to its vOPS Server Explorer product.
This new utility provides a “Google-like” search into the virtual environment and complements the existing VM health visualization utility in vOPS Server Explorer.
As virtual environments grow to hundreds or thousands of virtual machines, finding individual VMs, or identifying which VMs share certain traits, becomes difficult and time-consuming. Virtualization administrators must eyeball data within VMware vCenter, or download data sets and manipulate these in a spreadsheet to gain the necessary insights into which VMs in an environment fit certain criteria. Manually, the VM search process can take minutes or even hours for each query that is sought. Because virtualized environments are dynamic and change frequently, this search process must then be repeated in real-time each time a virtualization administrator requires specific environment information.
vOPS Server Explorer now includes the capability to find specific VMs in an environment in seconds with technology based on VKernel’s SearchMyVM.
Delivered as a virtual appliance, vOPS Server Explorer scans an environment to collect VM metrics data. This data is analyzed by vScope Explorer, the existing utility in vOPS Server Explorer, to visualize the performance, capacity and efficiency health of all VMs, datastores and hosts in the environment. The new search utility, SearchMyVM Explorer, indexes an environment‘s virtual machines, hosts, clusters, resource pools, files, snapshots, VMware tools, applications, and configuration information.
VM administrators using vOPS Server Explorer can type in ad hoc search terms and save specialized queries that identify subsets of virtual objects such as:
* Virtual Machine (VM) Snapshots
* Number of specific vendor or hardware model deployed
* Which VMs have up-to-date VM tools installed
