vRealize Network Insight 6.6
On April 14, 2022, the company VMware announced the release of vRealize Network Insight 6.6 (vRNI), a solution designed to monitor and protect the networked infrastructure of a virtual environment at the application level in onpremise and. cloudy data-center
According to the company, the following appeared in vRNI 6.6:
Analytics "Crown Jewels"
Now in vRNI it is possible to focus on Crown Jewels objects, that is, the most critical virtual machines, physical IP, etc., in a multi-cloud hybrid infrastructure.
You can add any object from the console to the Crown Jewels section:
You can define the Scope and Duration for an object:
After that, you can run an analysis, the results of which will give an upper-level picture of all related entities, the degree of availability, incoming flows and their nature (internal or Internet traffic):
Next, you can focus on an individual entity to find out how its state affects availability, and you can track flows between entities based on availability points:
Well, you can export the Crown Jewels Analysis report to PDF format, which will contain a list of all related entities and recommended firewall rules to protect these objects.
Changes to balancers and application interactions
Balancers are placed in front of applications, and it is important to observe them in combination, in terms of security and availability. Previously, monitoring of balancers and applications was available separately, but now there is a comprehensive view of this configuration:
Also, information about balancers is available from the dashboard of applications:
On the application Dashboard, information is updated in real time, and balancers are automatically detected.
The user can determine which application tiers are served by the balancers, as well as see the connections between these components. The picture below shows the web tier tier for the application served by the balancer, and when the user clicks on the corresponding connection, he receives complete information about how the balancer is configured and its operational status.
Batch change of data sources
Now there are batch actions for data sources that optimize manual procedures. You can update credentials, data temporarily disable data collection, or perform some other operation, such as changing the metric collection interval.
Network Assurance and Verification Updates
vRNI 6.6 now has support for Cisco UCS and Cisco FEX architectures in the Assurance and Verification Network view. This provides details of the UCS infrastructure at the Layer 2/Layer 3 path and connection level. Here is an example of displaying the topology of USC blade servers on chassis 5108 showing all blade connections in FEX, as well as interconnects between factories:
It is also possible to blur the paths from device to device or from VM to VM:
Also, support for NSX Bare Metal Edges objects was added for network cards. Here is an example of mapping connections between NSX Bare Metal Edges and a TOR switch, showing all possible traffic paths, including blocked paths:
Other changes
- Support for Arista BGP-EVPN topologies
- Updated Location for clouds vRealize Network Insight Cloud and vRealize Network Insight Universal - Mumbai, India
- Platform and Collector virtual modules now support Secure NTP
- active sessions metric showing how many sessions are going on within the stream
- The Databus component has been updated, which now supports filters for metric subscribers
vRealize Network Insight Universal
On March 2, 2022, it became known that the company VMware did not announce the availability of the vRealize Network Insight Universal solution, which is a complex of tools for monitoring the network environment and analytics in the product ecosystem, NSX NSX Advanced Load Balancer vCenter ,/,, vSphere VMware SD-WAN as well as third-party solutions for ensuring network interaction and environments. protection virtual
vRNI Universal is available to users starting with vRNI 6.5. vRealize Network Insight in both the online and Cloud versions uses algorithmic machine learning to support migrations from its own data centers to the cloud and monitor network activity processes.
The cloud version of vRNI provides monitoring public cloud environments AWS and, Azure as well as solutions based on technology, VMware Cloud such as, VMware Cloud on AWS Azure VMware Solution Google Cloud VMware Engine, VMware Oracle Cloud Solution, on VMware Cloud and services - Dell EMC public clouds VSPP,providers in which vRNI also monitors, such as network equipment routers balancers, firewalls, and much switchboards more.
The vRealize Network Insight Universal dashboard provides a single point of control over instances in different data centers:
Federated Network Analytics allows administrators in one dashboard to control their own data center in conjunction with various SaaS services hosted around the world. Federation allows you to combine data centers with an encrypted channel and see all alerts and items that have been added or deleted in the past 24 hours.
Also, the administrator can see the state of the environment and the movement of traffic between the geographical points where the instances are located. You can switch between a list or a visual representation in the form of a map, where the administrator can select the desired instance and already trableshoot the network environment in more detail there. There are also functions for delegating the capabilities of working with Federated Network Analytics to other users of the organization.
