Customize Monitor

Post by acelli »

Hello to all.
I would customize Monitor adding, for every virtual machine, a link to a web site documentation (we use a wiki to store installation detail of each vm).
Is possible ?
How ?

Many thanks.
Alessandro

Hi Shestakov,
The best is a custom tab for any VM that load and external page.
But I evaluate other solution.
I have try with a custom alert but the knowledge base custom is too poor.

For every vm I would include an external page taken from our corporate wiki.
Into this page I will write all informations on the software installed for the specific machine.
I would include a specific page for every virtual machine
I would a smart and immediate system to access all information without many steps (read as click).

Thanks to you.

I`ve got your request.
What if we display Notes you can leave in vSphere?
By the way, "Processes" tab can currently help you with the list of installed software.
Thanks!

Many thanks for the your attention to my request.
The problem of vshere note is the same of the custom field in knowledge base of alarm: is too simple.
I need a page with table, images, graph, and so on. Because may contain any types of information.
This is simple if I can include an external page.
My optimal solution is a custom tab on VM where i can call an html page.

Many thanks and good weekend.

Thanks for the explanation, Alessandro!
To say the truth that`s the first such a request we get, but we will take it into consideration.
