Skyline Advisor

Proactive Intelligence for your VMware environment

Skyline Advisor brings Proactive Intelligence to your VMware Environment.  This free toolwith Active Support Contract can help identify known issues lurking in your environment and provide solutions before they become user-impacting problems.

Skyline Advisor can also make your life easier by automating the log bundle upload process when you work with VMware Global Support. In the past you may have had to wait while the log bundle was generated and downloaded – only to watch the progress bar as you uploaded the large file to support. With Skyline Advisor, this process takes only a few mouse clicks and you can get back to your day immediately.

Skyline Advisor can also help your support engineer work on your problem by allowing them to request new log bundles – when you enable Auto Approve Log Requests.
