So a brand new "tool" was released with NSX-T 2.5 called NSX Intelligence.
@Rutger Blom did a good job writing about the installation procedure and what it does.
One thing Rutger did not write about is the bit where we need to "upload" the .OVF file with the use of an HTTP server.
When installing the Intelligence VM I stumbled upon a few issues. I want to make sure that you will not face these issues so I am going to explain what I did to resolve these issues.
What issues and how these where resolved is explained in the following article:

5 年Hi Iwan. Good article, clearly exposing the difficulties in the deployment process for the IntelligenceVM. But why did VMware decided to add this complexity to a simple OVF deployment? Not every Admin has a https server up and running just for this one task. I simply don't understand the point here. By the way, i'm testing nsx-t 2.5 with vsan6.7 underneath, and still haven't deployed the IntelligenceVM because of this. Cheers and keep sharing your work with us, much appreciated ????
