ManageEngine® Applications Manager Microsoft Hyper-V Servers | ||
Hyper-V Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise, Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter
Applications Manager monitors the critical components of the Hyper-V server to detect any performance problems.The components includes processor, memory, disk, virtual & physical network, virtual storage, etc.
The Availability tab shows the Availability history of the Hyper-V server for the past 24 hours or 30 days. The Performance tab shows some key performance indicators of the Hyper-V server such as Total CPU Utilization, Guest CPU Utilization, Hypervisor CPU Utilization and Physical Memory Utilization along with heat charts for these attributes. This tab also shows the health status and events for the past 24 hours or 30 days.
The List view lists all the Hyper-V servers monitored by Applications Manager along with their overall availability and health status. You can also perform bulk admin configurations from this view. Click on the individual servers listed to view detailed performance metrics.
The Top Hyper-V servers tab shows graphs for the top total CPU utilization consumers, top guest CPU utilization consumers, top memory consumers and top idle CPU utilization consumers.
To view detailed performance metrics of a Hyper-V server, click the corresponding monitor listed in the Availability or List view tab. These metrics are categorized into six different tabs for easy understanding.
This tab provides a high-level overview of the availability and performance of the Hyper-V server.
