VMWare AVI Vantage Controller
AVI Vantage delivers multi-cloud application services including a Software Load Balancer, Intelligent Web Application Firewall (iWAF), and Elastic Service Mesh. The AVI Vantage Platform helps ensure a fast, scalable, and secure application experience.
With the VMWare AVI Vantage Controller connector, you will be able to see cluster information, monitor the health of virtual services, pools, and servers, and monitor other metrics like throughput, requests per second, connections per second, etc.
To achieve this, the connector uses AVI Networks REST API.

How to use
The element created using this connector has the following data pages:
General: Contains the general cluster information, such as the cluster's date, tag, version, build, etc. Also allows you to log in to receive data from the AVI Vantage (see "Initialization").
Virtual Service: Displays the Virtual Services table, with general information of the virtual services, such as the tenant, the name, the service ports, and related pools. This table also shows the current health score, as well as the number of open connections, requests per second, connections per second, and throughput.
Pool: Displays the Pools and Pool Servers tables.
The Pools table displays information about the pools, such as the tenant, the name, the related virtual service, the number of servers (up/total), and the related cloud. This table also shows the current health score, as well as the number of open connections, requests per second and throughput.
- The Pool Servers table displays information about the pool servers, such as the port, server name, IP address, status, and related pool. This table also shows the current health score, ratio, requests per second, open connections, and throughput.
