Splunk OVA for VMware
Overview
Details
The Splunk OVA for VMware is not compatible with the Splunk App for Infrastructure (SAI). To monitor VMware vCenter Server data with SAI, collect data with the Splunk VMware OVA for ITSI (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/4760/).
The Splunk Add-on for VMware is a standalone app that collects data from VMware ESXi, and is used to ingest and normalize data (For example: eventtypes and tagging) for use with the ITSI Virtualization module and the Splunk App for VMware.
