VMware Data Capture via Web Service

Acquire captures all of its performance data from the VirtualCenter web service. This is done by addressing the SDK page of the web service via HTTP or HTTPS.

Only Acquire for Windows can capture data from a Virtual Center – Acquire for UNIX/Linux can not. It does not matter whether vCenter is itself running under Windows or is being provided by a “black box” appliance. The means of connection to Virtual Center and the metrics that can be obtained are the same for both.

When configuring the VMware VirtualCenter Details in System Manager, the Web Service URL should be specified in the following format
Note: This is case sensitive.

https://<VirtualCenter Server Name>/sdk/

 

For example if your VirtualCenter server is called vmw-vc2 then the URL you specify would be:

https://vmw-vc2/sdk/
