AI-powered VMware vCenter/ESXi VM lifecycle and deployment tool — 60 tools.
Companion skills handle everything else:
Skill Scope Install vmware-monitor Read-only: inventory, health, alarms, events, metrics uv tool install vmware-monitorvmware-storage Datastores, iSCSI, vSAN management uv tool install vmware-storagevmware-vks Tanzu Namespaces, TKC cluster lifecycle uv tool install vmware-vksNeed read-only monitoring only? Use VMware-Monitor — zero destructive code in the codebase.
Triage → investigate → act, all in one conversation. Five opinionated read-only reports aggregate and correlate server-side and hand back a high-signal result (never raw inventory), so you can decide where to look before changing anything. Each renders a self-contained offline HTML snapshot with --html (no external assets; drill-down detail collapses in native <details>, zero JavaScript). All delegate to the vmware-monitor library using AIops's own vCenter connection.
| Question | Command | What it correlates |
|---|---|---|
| "What needs attention now?" across all vCenters | vmware-aiops attention |
Every vCenter merged into one globally-ranked issue list; unreachable targets degrade gracefully |
| "Is anything on fire?" across all clusters | vmware-aiops summary |
Every cluster's hosts + VM power + live CPU/mem + alarms → ranked top-N issues + per-cluster status |
| "What's happening around this VM?" | vmware-aiops investigate vm <name> |
VM state + host + cluster + backing datastores + snapshots + alarms + performance + a merged event timeline |
| "What's happening around this host?" | vmware-aiops investigate host <name> |
Host state + cluster + the VMs it runs + mounted datastores + alarms + performance + correlated timeline |
| "What's happening around this datastore?" | vmware-aiops investigate datastore <name> |
Capacity/free + mounting hosts + VMs it backs + alarms + correlated timeline |
