The Splunk Add-on for VMware Metrics is a collection of add-ons used to collect and transform the Performance, Inventory, Tasks, and Events data from VMware vCenters, ESXi hosts, and virtual machines. The Splunk Add-on for VMware Metrics contains the following components: Splunk_TA_vmware_inframon - Runs a Python-based API data collection engine, collects data from VMware vSphere environment, and performs field extractions for VMware data. SA-Hydra-inframon - Collects API-based data from vCenter. It schedules jobs and runs the worker processes on each data collection node. Please install the Splunk Add-on for VMware Metrics Indexes (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/5602/) in order to define the indexes used by Splunk Add-on for VMware Metrics. Follow the Install and Configure Splunk Add-on for VMware Metrics Indexes (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/released/VMWmetricsindexes/CollectData). The packages "SA-VMWIndex-inframon", "Splunk_TA_vcenter" and "Splunk_TA_esxilogs" have been removed from Splunk Add-on for VMware Metrics build and published as an individual Splunkbase App in order to make the add-on SSAI-compatible in the cloud environments. If you would like to collect the vCenter logs from your environment, then install Splunk Add-on for vCenter Logs (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/5601/) by following the steps mentioned in Install and Configure Splunk Add-on for vCenter Logs (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/released/VMWvcenterlogs/CollectData). If you would like to collect the ESXi logs from your environment, then install Splunk Add-on for VMware ESXi Logs (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/5603/) by following the steps mentioned in Install and Configure Splunk Add-on for VMware ESXi Logs (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/released/VMWesxilogs/CollectData). Each component and TAs work with a different part of the VMware infrastructure to collect and transform the data into the format needed for the Splunk App for Infrastructure (SAI) and IT Service Intelligence (ITSI). The add-on is required to work with the Splunk OVA for VMware Metrics. (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/5096/).
