You can add VMware Cloud Foundation to the Skyline Collector.

To add VMware Cloud Foundation to the Skyline Collector, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

The following permissions are required for the account used to add SDDC Manager to the Skyline Collector. These permissions are sufficient for collecting product usage data.

  • SDDC Manager VIEWER Role: This role is sufficient for collecting product usage data

  • SDDC Manager ADMIN or OPERATOR Role: This role is sufficient for log assist

Important:

You must assign the required permissions to the user account. Assigning the required permissions to a group, and using a user account within that group to add SDDC Manager to the Skyline Collector fails the privileges check within Skyline Advisor.

Procedure

  1. Enter the FQDN/IP Address of the SDDC Manager.
  2. Enter a Account Username for connecting to the SDDC Manager. This account must have the minimum required permissions.
  3. Enter the Account Password.
  4. To complete adding the SDDC Manager to the Skyline Collector, click Add.

Results

VMware Cloud Foundation has been added to the Skyline Collector.

What to do next

If you did not add the VMware Cloud Foundation components, such as NSX-T, or vRealize Operations to the Skyline Collector, please do so now. Skyline will not be able to provide VMware Cloud Foundation Findings unless all components of VMware Cloud Foundation have been added to the Skyline Collector.

You can add NSX-T, and vRealize Operations, to the Skyline Collector after completing the initial configuration of the Skyline Collector. After completing the initial configuration, login to the Skyline Collector, click Configuration, and the product to add to the Skyline Collector.
