Data collector for vSphere (CMDB)

Data collector for vSphere enables administrators to automatically feed iTop with relevant and accurate information about a whole data center from a vSphere server.

It synchronizes this information with iTop using several Synchronization Data Sources.

Features

Automated inventory of Servers (with their Brand, Model), Hypervisors (with their OS Family and OS Version), Farms, Virtual Machines (with their VirtualHost, OS Family and OS Version).
Collection plan: automated selection of the elements to retrieve and sequential collection according to the plan
Automatic creation and update of the Synchronization Data Sources in iTop.

Additional value

This data collector can be combined with Data model for vSphere or IPAM for iTop for a more advanced use:

Collection of Data stores (with information such as UUID),
Collection of IP addresses.

Please refer to the Data model for vSphere documentation to see the added value of this integration.

Note for installation
Please note that as a stand-alone application, this collector cannot be automatically installed by iTop Hub: you’ll have to deploy it manually on a server running PHP, with web access to both vSphere Web Services and iTop.
