# vROps

### What is vROps integration in ZigiOps?

VMware vRealize Operations (vROps) is an AI-driven IT operations management platform used for monitoring, performance optimization, capacity management, and automated troubleshooting of VMware-based infrastructure and multi-cloud environments.

ZigiOps enables integration between vROps and ITSM, monitoring, and IT operations platforms. Using username and password authentication, ZigiOps connects vROps to external systems to support automated alert forwarding, topology synchronization, and metrics exchange workflows.

With ZigiOps, vROps can:

* Forward alerts and events to operations platforms such as OBM
* Synchronize Linux and Windows topology data with connected platforms
* Exchange metrics with OBM and other monitoring systems
* Receive topology enrichment data from AppDynamics, Dynatrace, NewRelic, and ServiceNow
* Participate in bi-directional workflows between VMware infrastructure monitoring and service management

### Which vROps versions are supported?

Please note that using a supported version is mandatory.

| Product | Supported Deployment Types | Supported Versions |
| ------- | -------------------------- | ------------------ |
| vROps   | All                        | 7.5.x (or newer)   |

### Are there any environmental prerequisites for vROps?

### What are the most common vROps integration use cases?

#### Use case 1: vROps alerts and topology forwarding to OBM

Alerts, topology data, and metrics from vROps can be automatically forwarded to OBM, enabling unified event management and infrastructure visibility across VMware and operations platforms.

#### Use case 2: Topology enrichment from AppDynamics, Dynatrace, and ServiceNow

Application topology data from AppDynamics, Dynatrace, and NewRelic, as well as VMware instance topology from ServiceNow, can be synchronized into vROps to enrich its infrastructure model and improve operational context.

### What integration templates are available for vROps?

ZigiOps provides the following integration templates for vROps:

* AppDynamics application metrics - vROps metrics
* AppDynamics node topology - vROps topology enrichment
* AppDynamics transaction metrics - vROps metrics
* Dynatrace application topology - vROps topology
* NewRelic APM application host metrics - vROps metrics
* ServiceNow VMware instances topology - vROps custom group members topology
* ServiceNow VMware instances topology - vROps topology
* vROps alerts - OBM events
* vROps Linux topology - OBM topology
* vROps metrics - OBM metrics
* vROps topology - OBM topology
* vROps Windows topology - OBM topology

Templates are documented individually in the **Integration Catalog**.

### Summary
