VMware vCenter Servers

 

Applications Manager can discover your entire VMware virtual infrastructure through the vCenter server. The VMware virtual infrastructure groups allows you to discover virtual resources and categorize them into components such as Data Center, Cluster, ESX/ESXi hosts, etc.


Monitored Parameters

VMware Virtual Infrastructure groups will be listed among monitor groups and can be accessed from the 'Monitor Group' view under the Monitors tab. Within the VMware Virtual Infrastructure group, the Summary tab provides an overall view of the components of the VMware virtual infrastructure and their health status. It shows you the number of datacenters, clusters, resource pools, ESX hosts, VMs, datastores and network components present in the vCenter server.

 

 

Summary

The Summary tab also shows the following performance metrics at both data center and cluster levels:

 

Parameter

Description

ESX/ESXi Host Details

Name

The name of VMware ESX/ESXi server monitor

Datacenter

The name of the Datacenter to which the ESX host belongs

Cluster

The name of the cluster to which the ESX host belongs

CPU(%)

The CPU utilization of the ESX/ESXi host(%)

Memory (%)

The percentage of memory used across the ESX/ESXi host

Network (kbps) The network usage of the ESX/ESXi host in kbps(kilobytes per second)
Disk I/O (kbps) The disk usage of the ESX/ESXi host in kbps(kilobytes per second)
Cluster Details

Cluster Name

The name of the vCenter cluster

Datacenter The datacenter to which this cluster belongs
Effective CPU Effective memory resources (in MB) available to run virtual machines. This is the aggregated effective resource level from all running hosts.
CPU Cores The number of physical CPU cores. Physical CPU cores are the processors contained by a CPU package.
CPU Threads The aggregated number of CPU threads.
Tolerated Failover Number of failures that can be tolerated by the VMware HA.
Memory Utilization The percentage of memory used across the cluster.
Consumed Memory The memory utilized so far (in MB).
Total Memory The amount of memory used by this cluster
Effective Memory Effective memory resources (in MB) available to run virtual machines. This is the aggregated effective resource level from all running hosts.
Active Memory The amount of memory that is actively used measured in Mhz.
Swap Memory The amount of memory that is swapped.
Resource Pool Details

Overall CPU Usage

The total amount of CPU resources utilized measured in Mhz.

Maximum CPU Usage The maximum amount of CPU resources utilized measured in Mhz.
CPU Reservation The amount of CPU resources reserved for a virtual machine measured in Mhz.
CPU Allocation Limit The amount of CPU resources allocated to a virtual machine measured in Mhz.
Overall Memory Usage The total amount of RAM being used by a virtual machine measured in MB.
Maximum Memory Usage The maximum amount of RAM that can be used by a virtual machine measured in MB.
Memory Reservation The amount of RAM reserved for a virtual machine measured in MB.
Memory Allocation Limit The amount of RAM allocated to a virtual machine measured in MB.

Business View

In the Business View tab, you can configure flash-based business views that help you visually represent the interdependencies between your VMware virtual infrastructure as well as view their health status. In the Dashboards tab, you can configure custom dashboards by adding widgets.

 

Storage

In the Storage Tab Applications Manager automatically maps VMware vSphere servers and their VMs to their underlying physical storage arrays. You can track the vSphere servers and their VMs to the datastores, to the host bus adapters and the actual physical storage. This tab displays:

 

Dashboard

In the In the Dashboards Tab, dashboards can be used to create your own custom pages by adding widgets. By using Custom Dashboards feature, you can create Dashboards of your choice - like Status View of all the Databases, Status view of all Web Applications deployed in Tomcat Server. If you make a Dashboard as template the same Dashboard can be reused across the Monitor Groups .

 

Note: The DRS Migration Report will be shown only when the DRS is in automatic mode.
