Note:  To add a vCenter, the monitoring service must be a configured user on the vCenter implementation and must have read-only access at minimum. For more information, see the VMware Overview for SQL Sentry topic.
Important:  If using SSPI authentication, be sure to select a site where the monitoring service has at least read-only access to the vCenter.

Hyper-V

Whenever a Hyper-V guest or host is monitored with SQL Sentry, it appears under the Hyper-V node. If the host is monitored with SQL Sentry, all of the host's guests appear as well. If only a guest is watched with SQL Sentry, that guest's host displays. For more information, see the Windows & Hyper-V Overview topic.
