7. vCenter Log Insight - VMware’s Approach to Log
Management
1
Easy to Use and Accessible
– Existing solutions are highly specialized and often too expensive
– Log Insight has an intuitive, easy-to-use interface
– Using a predictable pricing model with unlimited amount of log
data, making it accessible to all
2
Extend Analytics to Log Data
– With vC Ops, VMware introduced an analytics-based operations
management solution for structured data (metrics, KPIs, events, alerts)
– Log Insight extends our analytics-based approach to logs and
unstructured, machine generated data
3
Optimized for VMware Environments
– Log Insight comes with built-in knowledge and native support for vSphere
– Integration with vC Ops maximizes ROI and value, providing a complete
cloud operations management solution
