Learn about the VMware Tanzu Service Mesh Integration.

This page provides an overview of what you can do with the VMware Tanzu Service Mesh integration. The documentation pages only for a limited number of integrations contain the setup steps and instructions. If you do not see the setup steps here, navigate to the Operations for Applications GUI. The detailed instructions for setting up and configuring all integrations, including the VMware Tanzu Service Mesh integration are on the Setup tab of the integration.

  1. Log in to your Operations for Applications instance.
  2. Click Integrations on the toolbar, search for and click the VMware Tanzu Service Mesh tile.
  3. Click the Setup tab and you will see the most recent and up-to-date instructions.

Tanzu Service Mesh Integration

Tanzu Service Mesh provides advanced, end-to-end connectivity, security, and insights for modern applications across application end-users, microservices, APIs, and data. It enables compliance with Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and data protection and privacy regulations.

Click the Setup tab for instructions on setting up your environment to send Tanzu Service Mesh metrics to Operations for Applications.

This integration uses Prometheus to scrape Istio mesh metrics and federate them. It uses the Kubernetes Metrics Collector to forward these metrics to Operations for Applications. This integration also installs dashboards. Here’s a preview of the Tanzu Service Mesh Data Plane and Control Plane dashboards:
