To provide the best experience for Splunk users who want to monitor their VMware infrastructure, Splunk is refocusing engineering efforts on our IT Essentials Work and IT Service Intelligence offerings. As a result, we will End Of Sale the Splunk Supporting Add-on for VMware on April 30, 2021 and End of Life will be January 11, 2023 . 

Prior to launching IT Essentials Work, Splunk has offered multiple Splunkbase apps to manage their IT infrastructure, and customers have had to maintain each of these apps individually. IT Essentials Work allows customers to monitor many types of different infrastructure types side by side, without having to switch between different apps.  We highly recommend that customers either purchase IT Service Intelligence to holistically monitor virtualized environments or use the latest free version of IT Essentials Work 4.9 (available May 2021) for out of the box host level VMware infrastructure monitoring. For more details on this announcement and migration options, please contact your sales representative.

Splunk Supporting Add-on for VMware is a collection of dashboards that provides insights about the capacity of clusters, hosts, and allows administrators to plan for allocating resources across different VMware infrastructure components.
The dashboards leverage data collected using Splunk Add-on for VMware Metrics. The dashboards from Splunk Supporting Add-on for VMware also works as a complementary app along with IT Essentials Work. With the two apps installed customers can monitor performance of VMware and manage capacity of VMware resources as well.
