Using VI-SDK for Detail Discovery
ADM includes the VI ‐ SDK protocol as an option when creating Detail Discovery policies. VI ‐ SDK is a VMware
proprietary API used by third ‐ party applications to query a VMware model, control VMware Infrastructure’s
behavior, and receive notifications of changes in the VMware Infrastructure environment. It also allows its
user to discover, configure, and monitor all aspects of VMware ESX Server and Virtual Center. The VI ‐ SDK
option is shown below.
Capabilities
Once a VMware environment is discovered, you can perform several functions.
Viewing Virtualization Dependencies
You can view dependencies in your VMware Infrastructure environment by selecting the relevant items from
the Discover > Inventory page and clicking Virtualization in the Dependencies panel. This option allows you
to view dependencies for the selected object. For example, you can select a virtual machine from the inventory
and then click Virtualization to view its containers. You can also view dependencies in the map.
Virtualization-Related Search
After discovering your VMware Infrastructure environment, you can perform searches on it. For example, you
