Watchlist

Watchlist is a robust tool designed for monitoring and managing your vSphere infrastructure seamlessly from your Android device. Ideal for VMware administrators, this app allows you to log in directly to a vCenter Server or ESXi host, where you can select virtual machines and hosts to create focused views of their properties and status. This streamlined approach facilitates efficient infrastructure oversight and direct remediation tasks right from your smartphone.

Comprehensive Infrastructure Monitoring

With Watchlist, you can effortlessly create customized watchlists by selecting virtual machines and hosts from your VMware vCenter Server or ESXi inventory. This enables you to review key aspects such as state, configuration details, resource usage, health alerts, and related objects at a glance, all from your mobile device. Each alert comes linked with pertinent diagnostic information from both the VMware Knowledge Base and other web sources, ensuring you have the detailed insights necessary for effective issue resolution.

Remote Management and Remediation

Offering direct management capabilities, the Watchlist app allows you to perform power and management operations such as powering on or off, resuming, suspending, connecting, or disconnecting virtual machines or hosts. Additionally, when issues require on-site intervention, you can easily share alerts with recommended solutions via email to your team at the data center. This ensures quick communication and collaborative problem-solving, optimizing the overall management process.

System Requirements and Compatibility

To utilize Watchlist, a VMware vSphere installation (version 5.0 or above) is required and you may need a secure access method like a VPN on your mobile device. Before installation, ensure compatibility with Android 4+ to fully benefit from its comprehensive features.
