Monitored resources
- vCenter
- Cluster
- Resource Pool
- Datastore
- ESXi
- Virtual Machine (VM)
Monitored metrics
- CPU performance (GHz, CPU cores, CPU ready)
- Memory usage (reserved, granted, consumed, active, baloon, swap in, limit)
- LAN performance in (MB/sec)
- Disk performance (MB/sec, IO per sec, latency in ms)
- Disk usage (GB)
Other features
- vMotion graphical tracking
- Trends
- Historical reports
- Custom Groups: grouping in one graph utilization from many virtual machines regardless of where they run
- Heatmap
- Graph zooming
All data is retrieved agent less.
Data source is either the vCenter or ESXi itself in case it is not managed by the vCenter.
Collected data set can be expanded by the
OS agent which brings these additional metrics:
