VMware Skyline Health Diagnostics is a self-service diagnostics platform. It helps to detect and provide remediation to issues in the vSphere and vSAN product line. It provides recommendations in the form of a Knowledge Base article or procedure to remediate issues. It uses the log files of these products to detect issues. vSphere administrators can use this tool to troubleshoot issues before contacting VMware Global Support Service.

Demonstration

Connect to VMware vCenter Server.

Collect the Logs and Analyze from VMware environment.

Generate the Log bundle on vSphere and run the diagnostics.

We can download the report and view it directly. The diagnostics report contains multiple sections with a hierarchical summary of analysis and findings.

It provides the summary of VMware Security Advisory Scanning if the VMware Security Advisory plugin option selected during the diagnostics runs.

It lists all the findings across all the target ESXi hosts/vCenter included in this run. Each analyzed ESXi host/vCenter has a separate section showing all of the findings across the selected plugin types

For each of findings against the log bundles, you find a comprehensive report outlining the findings, alert level, resolution, investigation details, and log evidences if available. If any KB is to be associated with the finding, it is included in this section.
