Note
titleBefore You Begin

In the first module, if you followed all three tracks, your inventory should now include a VMware vCenter Server (along with its inventory of ESX hosts and VMs), a pair of physical servers (one agent-based Linux system, and a WMI-based Windows system), and an SNMP network device. The screenshots used in this module reflect this.

For the exercises in this module, the two physical servers are used as examples. If you did not add physical servers to your inventory, you can either just follow along, or consider adding physical servers so that you can do every exercise.

Info
titlePro Tip

Elements are not just servers, network devices, and their virtual instances; they can also be Applications and SLAs. Although based on metrics retrieved from monitored hardware (whether physical or virtual), Applications and SLAs provide health and performance information from a business perspective. Nonetheless, they are also found under My Infrastructure, and can be placed in their own Element Groups. Refer to the product documentation for more information about SLAs, and Applications and the Applications dashboard.
