vRealize Operations Manager is VMware's product for performance monitoring, capacity planning, and alerting. PowerCLI contains a limited set of cmdlets to work with vRealize Operations Manager. You have learned to use the cmdlets to connect to and disconnect from vRealize Operations Manager servers, use alerts, retrieve recommendations, retrieve statistical data, and retrieve local user accounts.
Using the vRealize Operations Manager API, you can use all of the capabilities of vROPs. Many examples of using the API were given to retrieve user roles, create and remove users, retrieve solutions and traversalSpecs, and create and retrieve reports.
In the following chapter, Using REST API to manage NSX and vRealize Automation, we will show you how to use VMware NSX and vRealize Automation Center with PowerCLI using REST APIs.
