VMware vSphere In-Guest Services

In this article

    You can view and control services currently running inside a VM or vCenter Server.

    • For Windows-based machines, you can view, start, stop and restart services, and create alarms based on retrieved services.
    • For Linux-based machines, you can view or end services.

    Prerequisites

    Before viewing in-guest services, check the following prerequisites:

    • For VMs, make sure that VMware Tools are installed.
    • For Windows-based machines, make sure that the Remote Registry Service is started.
    • For Linux-based machines, make sure that the SSH Server is started.

    Viewing In-Guest Services

    In-Guest Processes

    There is a misspelling right here:

     

    I want to let the Veeam Documentation Team know about that.
