VMware, Inc., the global leader in virtualization and cloud
infrastructure, today announced it has extended the log analytics capabilities
of VMware vCenter Log Insight with seven new content packs from Cisco, EMC,
HyTrust, NetApp, NetFlow Logic, Puppet Labs and VCE. The content packs enable
VMware vCenter Log Insight to consume unstructured data from a wider variety of

accurately identify and troubleshoot issues in dynamic virtual and cloud
environments.

partners' content packs, we're expanding VMware vCenter Log Insight to deliver
the industry's most comprehensive log analytics solution for today's highly
scaled out, dynamic environments" said Ramin Sayar, senior vice president and
general manager, Cloud Management, VMware. "Now our partners can target the
broad VMware vSphere install base by augmenting VMware's analytics
capabilities, and customers can go to our marketplace and get up-to date domain
or purpose-built content packs for their specific
deployments."
Simplifying Root
Cause Analysis and IT Troubleshooting of Infrastructure Hardware and
Software
Machine-generated log
data contains valuable operational and diagnostics details regarding IT
infrastructure that can be used to identify and troubleshoot IT problems. VMware
vCenter Log Insight provides automated log analytics to deliver real-time
insights from log data produced by applications, physical hardware and
virtualized infrastructure helping to minimize troubleshooting times as well as
improve operational efficiency and cut IT costs. The product delivers automated
log management through log aggregation, analytics and search. Administrators
rely on an intuitive graphical user interface featuring search, pre-configured
dashboards and robust reporting capabilities.
Content packs are
easy to develop and use within VMware vCenter Log Insight. VMware vCenter Log
Insight enables partners to produce content packs featuring pre-defined log
queries, extracted fields, pre-built dashboards and alerts specific to their
offering. Built by subject matter experts, the information gleaned from the
additional data sources via content packs is then used by joint customers to
pinpoint IT issues rapidly and simplify troubleshooting. VMware partners that
develop content packs help joint customers to reduce IT costs related to root
cause analysis and increase overall customer satisfaction.
