Summary
Agent-based (RHEL), CIM, SNMP
Details
It is possible to use OEM vendor supplied tools, e.g. hardware monitoring utilities / agents, provided that the RHEL-based hypervisor is used.

RHV-H does not provide the tools and libraries that various tools depend upon but has basic CIM support for Systems Management. While it will not offer customizations delivered by dedicated OEM CIM providers, CIM management is available in RHV-H (RHV-H cannot be customized today to include third party CIM support). Red Hat uses the open source libcmpiutil as the CIM provider in RHV-H.

RHV-M integrates with 3rd party plug-ins that can provide systems management. For example HP OneView for Red Hat Virtualization (OVRHV) UI plug-in that that allows you to seamlessly manage your HP ProLiant infrastructure from within RHV Manager and provides actionable, valuable insight on underlying HP hardware (HP Insight Control plug-in is also available).
