• ESX performance statistics

  I need help...

  After watching an interesting info from VMware on PowerCli session, I realized that I could get IOPS / s (and other performance statistics) via PowerCli ESX servers.

  I had a script that goes to each VMhost (ESX) and request the disk.commands.summation for each VM and the data store.

  Then I could summarize these take medium and gives me a report on how would IO.

  I had to go directly to the ESX rather than through vCenter, as the standard vCenter level stats had disk.commands.summation in real time; and the ESX retains at least a day.

  Later, I noticed that I could upwards the level Stats and get the OPS are / s of vCenter for a week...

  But trying to get the statistics of vCenter (via PowerCli) I get nothing.

  I did a Get-VMhost | Get-StatType... and I see the stat... but when I do Get-VMhost | Type get-Stat - disk.commands.summation returns nothing...

  Can someone please... I would like to know the OPS are / s for each VM and the data store for the past week, so I can properly balance my data stores.

  OK, let's try since last week.

  Get-VMHost  | Get-Stat -Stat disk.commands.summation -Start (Get-Date).AddDays(-7)
  

  What is this returns anything?

  One last thing, you are connected (connect-VIServer) to the vCenter and not the host ESX (i)?

• How to get the statistics of all the virtual machines that is going down the network packet last week?

  Hello

  I have this script (new) to Mr. LucD grace who 'supposed' to collect the list of any package of network statistics dropped as scheduled:$start = Get-Date ' 01/01/2015 00:00 " "»

  $finish = Get-Date "21/01/2015 14:30"
  
  $metrics = "net.droppedRx.summation","net.droppedTx.summation"
  foreach($esx in (Get-VMHost)){
      $vms = Get-VM -Location $esx
      if($vms){
          Get-Stat -Entity $vms -Stat $metrics -Start $start -Finish $finish -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
          where {$_.Instance -ne ""} |
          Group-Object -Property {$_.Entity.Name,$_.Instance} | %{

  but somehow there is no results coming out of this script?

  How can I get the result the. CSV file?

  The ForEach loop do not put anything in the pipeline, but that can be fixed by using the call operator (and)

  $finish = get-Date ' 21/01/2015 14:30 '.

  $metrics = "net.droppedRx.summation", "net.droppedTx.summation".

  & {foreach ($esx in (Get-VMHost)) {}

  $vms = get-VM-location $esx

  {if ($VMS)}

  Get-Stat - $vms - Stat $metrics entity - start $start - finishing $finish - ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |

• vSphere API: get cannot correct Cluster performance statistics

  Is it the right place to ask specific questions on vSphere for extraction of Performance API? If this isn't the case, please let me know where I should post instead.

  Overview

  I do something wrong, because at least the value of mem.consumed.AVERAGE is different from what shows the GUI vSphere, that bothers me.

  In addition, the list of statistics available (from vimPort.queryAvailablePerfMetric ()) for a ClusterComputeResource resourcePool is smaller that what (I think) the documentation [1] says it should be.

  What I am doing wrong? I hope that these two problems are related...

  I use the SDK 5.5 against a 5.1 vCenter.

  Details: mem.consumed Clusters

  Here, I have access to a ClusterComputeResource resourcePool, and get the statistic of mem.consumed, assuming it's the same metric as the statistical 'consumed' GUI for a cluster. But the API values are lower than the values in the GUI. I don't understand why. Do you have?

  Maybe related, our vCenter facility also has some stand-alone ESX hosts. They also have a resourcePool (under a "plain" ComputeResource). The HostSystem both the ComputeResource resourcePool have "consumed" statistic, but also here the ResourcePool "consumed" is that lower to of HostSystem metric consumption.

  Metric of usagemhz of the bunch is excactly the same GUI, so at least a part of what I do seems to be just.

  How can I get the values for "consumed" statistic a cluster that shows the GUI?

  Details: Measures available for clusters

  My own code gives the same results as com.vmware.performance.PrintCounters of SDK/vsphere-ws/java/JAXWS/samples/com/vmware/performance/PrintCounters.java in the file SDK.zip:

  $ JAVA_HOME = / usr/lib/jvm/java-6-Sun/jre. run.sh com.vmware.performance.PrintCounters - url https://Gaius/SDK -basic-connection - username "xxxx" - password "yyy" - entitytype ResourcePool - entityname resources - filename /tmp/resource.xml

  $ grep called InfoNom-key /tmp/resource.xml

  > key called InfoNom < usagemhz < / called InfoNom-key >

  > key called InfoNom < vmmemctl < / called InfoNom-key >

  > key called InfoNom < consumed < / called InfoNom-key >

  > key called InfoNom < generals < / called InfoNom-key >

  > key called InfoNom < cpuentitlement < / called InfoNom-key >

  > key called InfoNom < mementitlement < / called InfoNom-key >

  But where is mem.totalmb? or cpu.totalmhz? Looking at the GUI to Performance vSphere / advanced / table Options... / CPU / last day, totalmhz statistics is here, and I can see values for it in the GUI. But why not on the API?

  When you look at the documentation for vSphere for memory counter PerformanceManager (5.1 [1], 5.5 [2]), I do not understand what it means that the entity column is empty. This means that it should or should not be available for a ResourcePool?

  Links

  1. 5.1 memory counters
  2. 5.5 meter memory

  I discovered what was going on. I asked resourcePool of ClusterComputeResource and ClusterComputeResource not directly. Once I asked the ClusterComputeResource directly, I had access to all statistics, as I expected and it had the values that I expected.

• Statistics for vmhba

  Hello

  I'm running the parser of e/s for my vm and I have the following Setup

  vmhba34

  ---10 attached SCSI disk

  iSCSI Software adapter

  -an iSCSI 3 attachment drive

  vmhba2

  -Local LSI disk attached

  I have the attached disks of vmhba34 attached to several virtual machines and Iometer captures no i/o to the HOST bus adapter and does not in the output.

  Any thoughs?

  Hello

  I think there is a bit of confusion about the use of IO Analyzer in your I/O scalability test.

  IO parser VM itself is generating I/O load. Even if you select your Windows VM in the user Web interface, you cannot generate I/O to your virtual machine specified unless it's a VM I/O Analyzer.  If you want to generate i/o to 32 virtual machines, we might want to deploy 32 I/O Anlayzer VM (or clone) and choose one of them as a controller VM.

  If your windows virtual machine already has I/O load gen or actual workload, you can simply use "listening mode" to collect statistics of e/s ESX host.

  Thank you.

• monitorizar performance of esx/esxi

  Buenas a todos.

  We would like monitorizar el performance of our host (processor, memory, red, discos of io, etc...). Don't con Vsphere client podemos hacerlo, for example pero no puedo ver the memoria activa del host of last 2 meses, solo me en ese already real-time valor. ESE are an example. Vamos, what quiero decir that da information pero me parece a servicio incompleto.

  He probado VMTurbo y tener al comercial durante after 3 weeks mandandome correos, decidi eliminate el sistema (from verdad, Québec estaba mandando uso and statistics, is that it was thought a poco agobiante). Eliminated el sistema coraje y pensando encontraria training to include los en mi Nagios host. After intentarlo durante a tiempo he visto than any en of and statistics are nada facil meter kbes Nagios.

  Me podeis recomendable?

  VMTurbo? no.......!!!!!

  Saludos.

  Hola

  That version of ESX to VCenter using estas y?

  Yo trabajo con 4.1 U2 y if Quebec me appears los graphic of memoria activa, consumida... of a dia/semana/mes

  Igualmente el valor particular memoria activa are a "Mike" poco: muestra the memoria don't RAM activa todas las VM + some servicios del esx, pero esto no quiere decir than sea "cierta" como our philosophy.

  The memoria activa,'re aquella memoria, ha sido "tocada" por el SO, pero como puedes see're casi siempre menor has reportada como consumida.

  In este link puedes tener una explicacion a little more detailed: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/memory_counters.html

  Yo actualmete put monitorizo ESX con VCenter, y con las VM nagios (Officer del OS): uso del las VM para troubleshooting vCenter performance is thorough analysis.

  Las herramientas than say los compañeros son bastante buenas, pero pago the mayoria

  Espero acercado reason

  Saludos

• Loan of CPU per ESX host

  Is it possible to pull the CPU statistics Ready an ESX host basis by?

  The cpu.ready.summation metric is only available for virtual machines, not for ESXi hosts.

  But you can work around this problem as follows.

  $vm = Get-VMHost "esx1","esx2","esx3" | Get-VM $metric = "cpu.ready.summation"$start = (Get-Date).AddDays(-1)
  
  $stats = Get-Stat -Entity $vm -Stat $metric -Start $start $stats | Group-Object -Property {$_.Entity.Host.Name} | %{
      New-Object PSObject -Property @{
          Name = $_.Group[0].Entity.Name
          CpuReadyAvg = ($_.Group | Measure-Object -Property Value -Average).Average
      }
  }
  

  The script collects the metric value for all virtual machines hosted on the ESXi servers on which you want to report.

  The values of time ready for all the virtual machine running on a specific host are on average.

• Question about performance statistics

  William-

  I was looking on the 'doc' House to see if there was reference to the period of time represented in the performance data given in the output of the script.

  Can you tell me what we actually with the host / cluster (CPU, memory) performance statistics?

  Also - I was wondering why "ESX/ESXi Hardware Configuration" includes CPU utilization and memory - that's just how the API works?  It just seems odd to include these data with summary material...

  Forgive the noob questions (and anything that might follow) I (FINALLY) movement in a project that will allow me to work much more consistent with the API, and this script makes so much to make my life easier.  We put the spotlight on performance and the ability of prediction, so I'll try to learn what can offer the API (overlooking DOCS 9840 & 10665 as time lost...)

  Thank you!
  Don

  These are just rough summary level a time interval counters, if you are looking for granular performance information, you will need to look in performanceManager which is the entitity wherein you will get more details.

• ESX 4.0 - how can you tell what physical NIC vswif is linked to?

  Hi all

  Noobie question here, but how can you tell what NIC card connected to the service console? We have ESX server with 6 NIC cards on all of them and I need to be able to say what NIC is the service console. I googled my brains but no luck. esxcfg-vswitch - l does not show what NIC is on, because, I guess, we lack vCenter.

  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  network ESXTOP statistics may display a vswif-> vmnic relationship...

• How to test an ESX host

  What are the options for testing performance on ESX hosts?  Are there models of good OVF or vApps for ESX hosts test to determine their ability to stress?  For example, you want to determine how many virtual machines can run safely on a physical machine - is there an OVF template that will peg the CPU, memory usage usage and access hard drive at startup that you run a bunch of one host and one model OVF who will report on the usage statistics?

  Are there other (free) ways to stress tests of your physical servers?

• Historical performance of ESX data

  Hi guys,.

  Of in Vmware vCenter server, I produce a weekly report of the perfmance.  Call it the default report generated by the highlighting of the cluster, then clicking on the performance tab, and then change the scope from daily to weekly.

  We have recently disconnected two hosts critical vCenter for security reasons.  Now, we connect to them directly by using the host name.  The performance tab when connected directly does not appear to be the weekly report.

  My question is, if these ESX hosts are not considered the vcenter then is it possible to display the value of a week of the performance data?  Stand alone hosts even keep statistics of performance beyond 24 hours?

  Thank you.

  > Does that mean that an ESX host only stores a maximum of 24 hours of performance information?

  No, of course. vCenter stores data on the performance for a while, but only for the short period of time, detailed information and the information sheets aggregated after expiry of the specified period. But vCenter is a Management server, this is the main purpose is to manage and provide basic functions of monitoring real-time performance.

  For example, why I love Veeam Monitor - it can aggregate Datastore IOPS load from multiple clustered virtual machines, while vCenter can show the burden of the current host only.

• How to generate more than one hour performance statistics in vSphere Client 4.0?

  We have installed a trial version of vSphere ESX 4.0 (on processor Intel 8 with Fedora Core 12) and vSphere Client (on Windows Vista 32-bit) and that it provides only 1 hour of performance statistics.  Then apply a license valid, it still generates only 1 hour from CPU graphics and logs.  Does anyone else have this problem?

  Performance logs are exported from vSphere Client by either: a)-> report file-> performance (recorded as file .xls for all virtual machines from the host), or b) right-click on the individual VM-> report Performance... (for the individual VM).  Whatever it is, will appear .xls files contains only statistics of CPU, memory, storage, network and disk of the last hour.

  In addition, the "Graphics Options" in the performance tab will not let you change the interval of time either, although there are options for the 'end '.  They are disabled. Please see screenshot.

  Help, please.  Thank you!

• Configure ESX hosts to send SNMP traps to a third-party server

  Can someone please advise how to set up the host ESX (3.5) to send SNMP traps on a third party server... 300 dpi (10.60.0.1)

  gboskin wrote:

  (2) it looks like its only sending traps if there is an error or fault in the hots and I need to send regular performance statistics

  If this is possible depends on what VMware has put in the MIB and agents.

  You can check the measures of performance of the MIB and I guess that when they exist they are not send as a trap, but they must be requested via a get SNMP management suite.

• How can I get perf stats of a store of data on an ESX Server?

  I want to get statistics of perf for a store of data on an ESX Server. How can I get these statistics of perf?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  The PerformanceManager object can be used to query only statistics for the following entities: host, virtual machine, clusters and resource pools.

  http://www.VMware.com/support/developer/VC-SDK/visdk25pubs/ReferenceGuide/Vim.PerformanceManager.html

  Thus, you will not be able to performance statistics of queries to a data store on an ESX Server.
