VCF operations integration with Grafana

[Trilochan Katowal]

Hello,

Has anyone integrated the VCF operations with grafana so that we can populate same data in grafana dashboard, e.g. the capacity for cluster,vcenter & Hosts?

Hi Trilochan,

Integration is possible, but there's no native Grafana integration with VCF Operations. The most common approach is to use the VCF Operations (Aria Operations) REST API to pull metrics into Grafana, either directly or through a data source like Prometheus or InfluxDB.

 

If you're only after dashboards for clusters, vCenters, and hosts, this works well. If you need capacity forecasting and rightsizing, I'd still use VCF Operations since those features aren't easily replicated in Grafana.

Thanks for your reply Allan.
