Virtualization Monitoring
Virtualization Monitoring model is used to collect a host data and construct a list of Virtual Machines for a specific hypervisor or centralized platform server. That data are used in a Virtualization Server Details dashboard.
That model is relative and applies to all hypervisors or centralized platform servers. Variables created by that model are available in Edit Additional Properties item of this model's right-click menu.
The model provides several variables:
- Information (
hostInfo) variable collects data from different host variables to create a short information table about that host includes CPU and memory utilization metrics - VMs List (
vmsList) variable gets available data about virtual machines hosted on that host and represent it as a table. The table contains a lot of information such as name, state, heartbeat, guest OS name, CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage, network usage, host name, IP address, up time - Hypervisors List (
hvsList) variable collect hypervisor metrics: datacenter name, cluster name, link to a specific hypervisor Virtualization Server Details dashboard, state, IP address, product name, product version, total CPU cores, total CPU frequency, memory size, CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage, network usage, last boot date. Usually the variable contains only one row, because data describes current host, but if the model applies to a centralized platform server, the variable will contain information about all controlled hypervisors of lower level.
The model calculates variables once per minute and during first load by default. It can be changed by editing model bindings parameters.
