Splunk Add-on for VMware

Overview

Details

The Splunk Add-on for VMware is a collection of add-ons used to collect and transform data from VMware vCenters, ESXi hosts and Virtual Machines. The Splunk Add-on for VMware contains the below components:

*Splunk_TA_Vmware - Contains the python based API data collection engine and collects data from VMware environment.
*Splunk_TA_esxilogs - Collects log data from your ESXi log hosts.
*Splunk_TA_vcenter - Collects vCenter log data and forwards it to the indexers in your environment.
*SA-Hydra - Collects API based data from vCenter. It schedules jobs from the Search Head and runs the worker processes on each data collection node.
*SA-VMNetappUtils - Contains the supporting files for SA-Hydra and Splunk_TA_vmware.

Each component works with a different part of the VMware Infrastructure to collect and transform the data into the format needed for the Splunk App for VMware and the Virtualization Module for ITSI, and is required to work with the Splunk OVA for VMware (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3216/)
