I’m trying to re-collect some of the health check tools to validate the health of the VMware Infrastructure including SDN which is VMware HealthAnalyzer 5.3.1, VMware HealthAnalyzer automates the collection and analysis of VMware Horizon, VMware vSphere, and VMware NSX for vSphere inventory, including configuration and utilization data. VMware HealthAnalyzer Collector gathers View and vSphere inventory data from the systems in your environment. You can then export the data and send it to VMware or a VMware partner for analysis.
VMware HealthAnalyzer provides consistent, scalable data collection:
- vSphere – Data can be collected from a specified VMware vCenter Server and other systems within the vSphere infrastructure.
- Horizon – Data for analysis of desktop systems can be captured from a View Connection Server, App Volumes Manager and all of the systems with related data within the vSphere infrastructure.
- NSX for vSphere – Data can be collected from VMware NSX Manager (standalone or Cross-vCenter Server setup) and VMware NSX Controller instances.
A project with data can be exported to a file, or a previously captured project with data can be imported. A report in Microsoft Word format can be created for review and delivery to a customer.
