Using Device Properties - Virtualization
The Virtualization dialog allows for the identification of vCenter servers, VMware hosts, and
provides a list of the virtual devices associated with the VMware server. You can use this
dialog to identify the virtualization component, and associate virtual devices with the
component. Also, if the device is a vCenter server you can control event collection and select
the event types you want to receive from the server.
Role selection
During discovery, the most likely role for the virtual device is determined and the result is
displayed in the role selection area of the Virtualization tab. You can manually define the role
of the VMware server by choosing one of the following options:
This device is not a VMware server. Select this option if the device being configured
is not a VMware host or vCenter server.
This device is a VMware host. Select this option if the device being configured is a
VMware host.
This device is a VMware vCenter. Select this option if the device being configured is
a vCenter server.
Event collection configuration
If the virtual device you are configuring is a vCenter server, a Configure event collection
button appears in the dialog which provides the the option to configure event collection.
Note: To collect events, the WhatsVirtual event listener must be configured to listen for
events from the vCenter. From the WhatsUp Gold console click Configure > Program
Options > General dialog to configure WhatsVirtual to listen for events.
Click Configure event collection to open the Configure VMware event listener dialog and
select the event types you want to collect for the vCenter server.
Note: The current status of the Virtualization event listener is displayed beside the Configure
event collection button.
