Viewing VCF Inventory

From the Home tab, select Inventory > VCF to view the VMware Cloud Foundation page. From here, you can view in depth information of all resources that are part of VCF, as well as any tags or policies related to those resources. This information is displayed in a dashboard or a resource page.

Note: You need to add an SDDC Manager before you can view any information. See Adding SDDC Manager to CloudControl.

Dashboard Pages

Dashboard pages are a visual overview of your resources and their security postures. For VCF, you can view the global dashboard, and dashboards for each SDDC Manager.

The dashboard pages display the following information: 

  • An overview of how many SDDC Managers , compute resources, network resources, and management resources are protected by CloudControl.

  • An overview of the users with administrator access to VCF.

  • Recent history of how many access requests were authenticated.

  • Recent history of which operations were denied for being unauthorized.

Click the expander icon in each tile to open the Views page with detailed information. You can also click the options under the Views menu. From the Views page, you can click the x icon to return to the original location.

Resource Pages

Each resource page displays a list of the resources for each type, along with other important information per resource, such as details and tags. You can also use the Actions menu to assign and unassign tags to a selected resource.

Most of the table cells have links that you can click to view additional information. Depending on the type of resource, it will either open a new tab or it will open a pop-up window on the same page.

The following VCF resources have their own resource pages and sub pages: 

  • SDDC Manager

  • Compute (Workload Domain Collections, Workload Domains, Clusters, and Hosts)

  • Network (NetworkPools and Networks)
  • Management (vCenters and NSX-T Data Centers)
