4. PROBLEM STATEMENT
In industries such as banking, applications are complex because of multiple layers of systems. When an application tends to scale out,
analytical tracking of the data becomes a primary concern. Hence there is a need for multiple monitoring tools, which proves to be a burden on the
network administrator. This makes the job of a network admin difficult in terms of tracking individual tools and executing appropriate tasks to make
sure the system uptime is at the max.
Unfortunately, there is not a single solution to extract data from multiple layers of system resources to provide a graphical and statistical data
representation. A solution that is an
Administrative tool that incorporates multiple layers of systems like ESXi and KVM (Opensource and Proprietary). There is also a lack of options to
perform operations on a group of machines.
5. • All in one solution to vSphere
family
Network Monitor
Varieties of API’s for Virtual
machines
• Effective management ofthe
virtual environment.
THE SOLUTION
A Dashboard that could have seemless integration of everything you need to monitor on a Virtual
Environment.
7. TECHNOLOGY STACK
1. VMware Workstation 11
2. VMware vSphere ESXi bare-metal Hypervisor
3. vSphere Client (Desktop based .exe)
4. vCenter Server Appliance (.ovf template)
5. vCenter Web Client (.php – hostname:9443)
6. Observium
7. Turnkey Linux Server Appliance
8. VM Tools
9. SNMP and MySQL configuration
10.NTP servers
Listed below are the software’s that were used for this project.
REQUIREMENTS
Windows 8.1 and above(preferred)
RAM: 6 gb (suggested 8 gb )
Processor Cores: 4
Datastore Storage = 60 gb (minimum)
VM’s storage = 5 to 15 gb
VM OSes/iso’s = Ubuntu

8. Host file
SNMP configuration
VMtools
Ntp servers
WinSCP
vSphere is self-driven and challenging
A bit of common sense, technical skills and snacks
needed
TIME, Patience and System performance is key

9. The Process
ESXi Hypervisor
vSphere/vCente
r
TurnKey
Linux
Observium Orchestration
1. Install an ESXi Hypervisor as the base VM on VMware
workstation
2. Assign static IP which is to be accessed over the browser
3. Install vSphere client over the desktop and choose to install
vCenter server appliance using the ovf template.
4. Observium has a simlar counterpart called Turnkey Linux server
appliance.
5. Installation also prompts us to install mysql, php and most
importantly snmp.
6. Configure the SNMP file to ‘public’ which makes it ready to use.
7. Once setup is done. You are good to go!
11. UTILITIES USING JAVA API
• VM API’s are references which allow comprehensive information about all data structures
available through vSphere API
• Enables developers to create a custom solution for managing VM components.
