asked on Free Log Insight for vCenter
Hi people,
I'd like to ask some clarification for Free Log Insight for vCenter before implementing it in my Vmware environment.
My environment:
2x Vcenter Server Standard 5.1 Update 1 - Windows Server 2008 R2
1x Vcenter Server Essential 5.1 Update 1 - Windows Server 2012 R2
16x ESXi 5.1U3b hosts running on HP Blade Bl 465c G7/8
200 VMs
15 other Physical machine
I read that the Log Insight for vCenter is now available for free only to the first 25 server.
Question:
1. Can I download and use it with my VCenter 5.1 ?
2. Assuming there is additional Agent to be installed on the VM or physical machine to effectively monitor, does it require a reboot ?
3. Can I install it on my physical host running on Windows Server 2008 - 2012 R2 ?
4. Does 25 OSI pack means 25 IP address maximum to be monitored ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Andrew, is it any good to run the Log Insight agent to monitor my Windows physical server as well ?
Yes, it's very good, and if you use the additional Windows Content packs, will also filter the data.
ASKER
Ah I see,
So is it this one for the content pack:
VMware vRealize Log Insight 3.3.1 - Window Importer install file
So is it this one for the content pack:
VMware vRealize Log Insight 3.3.1 - Window Importer install file
No. Content packs are available from the Marketplace, once you've installed VMware vRealize Log Insight 3.3.1
ASKER
Alright, that does make sense for all :-)
Many thakns Andrew.
I'll open new thread if I need some more information.

no problems.
So what is the purpose of "VMware vRealize Log Insight 3.3.1 for vCenter Server - PAK file" ?
