Service Assurance Manager architecture

Smarts Service Assurance Manager architecture illustrates the
VMware Smart Assurance Server Manager
Service Assurance Manager
architecture.
architecture
abstracts topology information and cross-correlates and consolidates event information from distributed
VMware Smart Assurance
applications and third-party applications.
VMware Smart Assurance
applications are responsible for discovering and monitoring infrastructure elements, and correlating event information within their respective managed domains.
Service Assurance Manager
, other
VMware Smart Assurance
applications, or third-party applications communicate by way of a shared Information Bus that employs the
VMware Smart Assurance
Common Information Model™ (ICIM). After
abstracts high-level views of the distributed topologies from the underlying applications, it correlates, consolidates, and integrates event information collected from the applications, and enriches the event information with the severity of the events.
Event information (for example, root-cause problems and their impacts and severities) are displayed in the Notification Log Console, Topology Browser Console, Map Console, or Summary View Console. From these consoles, operations personnel can invoke diagnostic or corrective tools, store the information for management and operations reports, and send the information to third-party applications.
