Hi All

who can tell me 

What's the different between splunk add on for vmware and splunk add on for vmware metrics.

i'd like to monitor my vmware env. but see the document it's too complex.

As the name says - the add on for metrics is for performance metrics, the "general" add on is for events happening in your virtualization infrastructure.
