Configuration in VMWare vSphere​

For this integration, you will need to ensure that you have SDDC (Software-Defined Data Center) set up in VMWare inventory and have access to SDDC's vCenter. Obtain the following information for use when configuring the integration within JupiterOne:

  • Your vCenter login credentials (login/email and password)
  • The vCenter path in the vSphere Client (ex: vcenter.sddc-X-YY-ZZ-F.vmwarevmc.com)

Once you have obtained the information above, proceed to JupiterOne to finalize the integration.

Configuration in JupiterOne​

To install the VMWare vSphere integration in JupiterOne, navigate to the Integrations tab in JupiterOne and select VMWare vSphere. Click New Instance to begin configuring your integration.

Creating a configuration requires the following:

  • The Account Name used to identify the VMWare vSphere account in JupiterOne. Ingested entities will have this value stored in tag.AccountName when the AccountName toggle is enabled.

  • Description to assist in identifying the integration instance, if desired.

  • Polling Interval that you feel is sufficient for your monitoring needs. You may leave this as DISABLED and manually execute the integration.

  • Your VMWare vSphere Domain, Login, and Password.

Click Create once all values are provided to finalize the integration.

Next steps​

Now that your integration instance has been configured, it will begin running on the polling interval you provided, populating data within JupiterOne. Continue on to our Instance management guide to learn more about working with and editing integration instances.
