This document is the installation guide for VMware vFabric AppInsight, which provides information on system requirements, installation steps, and registering the vCenter adapter.
VMware vFabric AppInsight is a performance management product designed to monitor the availability, performance, and cost of applications deployed in hybrid clouds and dynamic virtual environments. It provides an at-a-glance health state by monitoring network-based metrics and code-level details across infrastructure and middleware layers.
