VMware (remote monitoring)VMware (remote monitoring)
Monitor the health and performance of your VMware vSphere infrastructure!
Extension- Product information
- Release notes
Overview
This VMware Extension connects to vCenter to gather metrics about your vSphere Clusters, ESXi Hosts, VM, Datastores, and Disks.
NOTE: This extension does consume licensing for Logs (see Details->vSphere Events ) and Custom Metrics. Due to the number of metrics collected and their potential cardinality in larger VMware vSphere deployments, if you are concerned about license usage please contact your Dynatrace account team for help with a sizing exercise. (See FAQ for more information.)
Use Cases
- Monitor the health and performance of your VMware
- Ensure optimal splitting of resources between the virtual machines
- Detect problems and pinpoint the root cause in your virtualization and application layer
