I have a VMWare environment with 12 VMWare hosts.  Currently we are using splunk cloud and we are using splunk agents to forward logs for  windows virtual machines. Now I want to monitor vmware hosts(mainly performance metrics). I started checking splunk documentation, but I am a little bit confused what should I use. It looks like till now there was an app- Splunk App for Infrastructure that is used to monitor vmware, and now there is some IT Essentials app, and there are some vmware add-ons, not sure where and how they are used. Could you please guide me what product should I use, does it has separate licenses that need to be purchased.  Because we are using splunk cloud, do I need to install something on-premises in order to monitor vmware and forward to splunk cloud. Thanks in advance for your help. ... View more
