Free Virtualization Monitoring: Virtual Health Monitor

Free performance monitoring for VMware, Hyper-V, RHEV, and KVM environments

Virtual Health Monitor provides visibility into VM and infrastructure health• Monitor Storage, Compute, & Network performance in

single pane of glass• Flexible dashboards & reports: datacenters, clusters, hosts,

data stores, VMs• Efficiency recommendations to maximize resources• Unlimited scale – no limitations on number of hosts or VMs• Easy deployment – be up and running in less than an hour

With VHM you will experience:• Heads up dashboard listing any performance issues, efficiency opportunities, and

compliance violations

• Metric drilldowns to quickly diagnose the cause of workload performance degradations stemming from storage, compute, or network resource contention.

• Efficiency dashboard lists opportunities to rightsize VMs with corresponding reports to justify rightsizing actions to application owners.

• Model future infrastructure needs based on current growth rates and headroom

• Reports on VMs, Hosts, Clusters, and Datacenters, including utilization, capacity, and headroom. Email reports on configurable schedule.

• Agentless with no performance overhead – connects to vCenter or directly to hypervisors; pulls data from vCenter APIs (not vCenter database) to minimize performance impact.

• Easy to download, deploy, and configure – be up and running in less than an hour

• No Phone Home – we don’t collect information about your environment

Standard dashboards for performance, efficiency, and capacity planning

Performance alerts for VMs, Hosts, and Datastores

Quick overview of host health (or use drop down

to see datastores)

Click to see details for any alert

Trending metrics for the VM. vCPU is pegged near 100%

Host has available CPU capacity. Could increase vCPUs

from 1 to 2 to relieve congestion.

Associated datastore is healthy

An alert has been triggered for vCPU congestion.

Drill down: Diagnosing high vCPU utilization on a VM

Trending metrics for the host. Mem is pegged at 80%+

utilization.

Shows all VMs on the host. Could relieve congestion by moving one high mem consumer to different

host.

Associated data stores. Storage in this environment is

healthy.

An alert has been triggered for mem congestion.

VMTurbo generates misconfiguration alerts for

network connectivity. This VM hasn’t been assigned a network

in vCenter.

Misconfiguration Alerts

Cluster level performance

Many hosts in the cluster have high mem

utilization

Aggregate utilization for the cluster. Mem is not

constrained overall. Likely should better

balance load.

Memory congestion alerts

Host level performance

This host’s mem and CPU utilization

VMs running on this host. One VM is consuming most of the resources.
