VMware performance monitoring
Tool is agent-less. All required data is downloaded from the management stations (vCenter or ESXi) via VMware Perl SDK.
It is free!
You can see all features on our demo site.
Download page.
Features
Monitoring resources
- vCenter
- Cluster
- Resource Pool
- Datastore
- ESXi
- Virtual Machine (VM)
Monitoring 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 where they run
- Heatmap
- Graph zooming

Collected data set can be enhanced about OS agent which brings these additional metrics:
| OS CPU | CPU sys, user, IO wait |
| CPU queue | Load avrg, Blocked processes |
| JOB | CPU, Memory |
| Memory utilization | Used, FS cache |
| LAN (ethernet adapters) | MB/sec, packet count |
| SAN (FC,vSCSI adapters) | MB/sec, packets/sec, Latency |
| Paging space utilization | Usage in % |
| Paging rate | MB/sec |
| Filesystem usage | Usage in %, GB |
