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)?

  • 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!

    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.

  • 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!

    The configuration is done on the host itself, not on the virtual machine

  • Options for monitoring or recovery of C-Series system performance statistics, series EX codecs

    Hello - I've been looking around to see if there is an option available today to recover the performance statistics of the system (for example, load CPU, memory, etc...) of TAA endpoint via the command line interface or dynamic XML Poll (http 'getxml'), of an endpoint.  I understand that Cisco has today a company MIB available for these endpoints and the API is needed to pull information from the codec, however, I want to be able to pull the CPU load and memory of these endpoints dynamically load.  Is it possible to do today?

    Thank you in advance,

    -Andrew

    Hello, Andrew!

    In general, it's something I wouldn't really worry about and be more skeptical if the

    follow-up itself generate an additional burden troubled =.

    As the systems are based on linux, you have command line tools and proc interface

    You can use to get stats on the endpoint. I'd rather watch if there are problems

    rather than trying to do something dynamic, I think that it is better accomplished by the endpoints.

    Example, login as root and try w or free

    [Martin-Koch-EX90 - ATEA-Vaas: ~] $ w

    00:17:02 14 days, 23 min, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.02 and 0.05

    ATS to [email protected]/ * / IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT

    root pts/0 00:03 0.00 0.31 s s s 0.02 w

    [Martin-Koch-EX90 - ATEA-Vaas: ~] $ free

    total used free shared buffers cached

    MEM: 510912 309832 201080 0 25768 156616

    -/ + buffers/cache: 127448 383464

    Swap:            0          0          0

    proc interface is also interesting:

    [Martin-Koch-EX90 - ATEA-Vaas: ~] $ cat/proc/uptime

    Inactive: 115896 kB

    ...

    You should be able to add a key ssh and auto login and get the information you need and

    process via a script and then use this data in your monitoring tool.

    and of course you have the xstatus which you can also access by tsh or the xmlapi http, you can find more information

    in the guide of the api. As you wrote, there isn't that much out via snmp.

    The intention itself is right though, so maybe you could file a feature request for the traps

    and better pro active monitoring, great thing miss me the most on C/TC is the lack of traffic/network/loss reports.

  • 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.

  • Collect vRO VM performance statistics

    Hi all

    I am trying to create a workflow that will show me (System.log or something like that) CPU statistics and the memory of a VM specified from the past year (or a few months).

    Specifically, I am interested in the amount of Max to use CPU and MEM of the virtual machine (for the specified time).

    I have already created a similar script with PowerCLI, but I want to do in the vRO, but unfortunately I can not find the correct class.

    Is this possible with the default plugins?

    If this is not the case, how can it be done?

    OK, you must first understand the IDS of the performance counters that you want to collect. You can empty the ID counter with something like:

    var perfMgr = VcPlugin.allSdkConnections[0].performanceManager;
    for each (var pc in perfMgr.perfCounter) {
      System.log("counter -> " + pc.key + " , " + pc.nameInfo.key + " , " + pc.nameInfo.label);
    }
    

    After you have the meter ID, you can use the PerformanceManager.queryPerf () method to extract statistics of these counters. It is an example of code (for meters with Id 2 and 6)

    var querySpec = new VcPerfQuerySpec();
    querySpec.entity = vm.reference;
    querySpec.startTime = new Date(2016, 5, 14);
    querySpec.endTime = new Date(2016, 5, 15);
    var mid1 = new VcPerfMetricId();
    mid1.counterId = 6;
    mid1.instance = "";
    var mid2 = new VcPerfMetricId();
    mid2.counterId = 2;
    mid2.instance = "";
    querySpec.metricId = [mid1, mid2];
    querySpec.format = "csv";
    
    var result = perfMgr.queryPerf([querySpec]);
    for each (var r in result) {
      for each (var q in r.value) {
        System.log("value -> " + q.value);
      }
    }
    
  • Hourly performance statistics report

    Hello community,

    I have a VM performance report that LucD has me helped with a couple of years back... The report gets an avg value and the peak of CPU and RAM for a virtual machine. I'm trying to find a way to make and export the hourly statistics for all of the virtual machines on a daily basis. I have attached a sample report which is a Virtualization Manager from Solarwinds exit. There is no way in SVM to plan this type of a report so I'm opting for the right choice - PowerCLI

    I've also attached the script that I run to get a daily report of avg, but want to see if it can be tweaked to get the avg schedule and push a report similar to one fixed. Luc can or someone please help me? Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards

    VMSavvy

    The concept is similar, try like this

    $vm = get - VM

    $stat = 'cpu.usage.average ','mem.usage.average '.

    $todayMidnight = (get-Date-time Minute 0 - 0 - 0 second). AddMinutes(-1)

    $stats = get-Stat-entity $vm - Stat $stat - start $todayMidnight.AddDays(-1)-finishing $todayMidnight

    $groups = $stats | Group-object - property {$_.} @entity.name, $_. Timestamp.Hour}

    $groups | % {

    $name, $hour = $_. Name.Split(' ')

    New-object PSObject-property @ {}

    VM = $name

    Hour = $hour

    Timestamp = $_. Group [0]. Timestamp

    CpuAvg = "{0:N2}" f ($_.) Group | where {$_.} MetricId - eq "cpu.usage.average" - and $_. {- Eq for instance "} |

    Measure-object-property - average value. Select average - ExpandProperty)

    MemAvg = "{0:N2}" f ($_.) Group | where {$_.} MetricId - eq "mem.usage.average"} |

    Measure-object-property - average value. Select average - ExpandProperty)

    }

    } | Tri-objet-VM property, {[int] $_.} Time} |

    Select the virtual machine, time, Timestamp, CpuAvg, MemAvg

    In a CSV file, you can not work sheets I'm afraid.

    You can use Export-Xlsx to my post Export-Xlsx, the suite and ordered data .

  • Some measures of the disc missing from the performance statistics since the update of U2 vc5. 0

    Hello

    Since our update of VC 5.0 vc5. 0 U2, the following metrics are not cumulative for past day/week/month/year plus:

    Average requests per second of reading virtual drive-

    Virtual disk - average writing queries per second

    Virtual disk - read latency

    Virtual disk - write latency

    Stats in real time for these metrics are fine, as well as more historical data before the update.

    vCenter is installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2, database VM: Oracle.

    I saw this problem on a VC 5.1 improved VC 5.0 with local MS SQL DB.

    Have these metrics out of historical performance data at all?

    Buenas tardes a todos como no tengo unos servidores para poder montar UN stage in terms of virtualizacion don't con a Vcenter y uno o con ESX back some maquinas office are posible con montarlo a nuevo ordenador y simular said stage, I think he read algo por Ahí pero ahora no lo veo y me gustaria montarlo para studying test y cosas.

    MUCHAS gracias por sus comentarios.

    Hola Alpacino777,

    Before that nada, tienes as verificar you Máquina arquitectura sea x 64 (64-bit) y you procesador tenga opcion Intel VT (in the case of than the sea intel). ESTOS los puedes verificar en values back the BIOS of you machine. También debe tener suficiente memoria RAM para soportar the las maquinas than pretentes virtualizar carga.

    Luego of eso have the option of instalar VMware Workstation sober Windows Linux o, as in su version 7, supports the United Nations ESX 4.0 instalacion nativamente

    Tal como is the grafica siguiente muestra:

    Posterioemente, tienes instalar en otra Máquina virtual, vCenter, ESX otro, etc.. También puedes instalar a spinning Open there simular una iSCSI SAN. If optas por instalar para laboratorio Workstation, you recommend lo mrge sober Linux para Quebec in this case, concerned al Máximo los recursos material para las maquinas office.

    This type of virtualizacion, segun VMware, is denominada virtualizacion Baich en donde host to needs of United Nations operating system "anfitrion" para a travez of UN con virtualizar sistemas operating different software. A difference of ESX, este ultimo corre directo sober el material sin necesidad instalar a previously sagna.

  • Real-time performance only a single host

    I have VC 4.1.0 build 345043 with 3 hosts esx 4.1.0.  Two hosts are build 348481 others I have patched 2 days ago now show 381591. The patched, updated VC performance statistics window in real time. I can see old week data, but the data stops when I patched. If I ask for the last day, I get Performance data na. The other is home again all the data of the report. I've read other issues, but the problem made all hosts. My time is on all hosts and VC. I restarted the affected host. I scan the host that it shows all patched. What's left to try?

    I know you rebooted the host, but one last thing to try is to restart the management agents... If you have SSH access or console, you can issue the below commands.

    first:

    service vmware-vpxa restart
    

    If this does not help then

    service mgmt-vmware restart

    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.

  • Missing SQL and SPs statistics work - I lose my data?

    Hi. We had a problem by which you could see only real-time performance statistics in our vCenter 4.1. The historical substance came with no available data. After some googling I found the following post: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & externalId = 1030819

    I checked our configuration and lacked most of the jobs and the stored procedures. I therefore executed all sql scripts for install, and now I see the fine statistics.

    However, we can only see the stats for when the problem has been resolved. This means that we will be unable to access performance data from before? We use a MS SQL 2005 server.

    Thank you very much

    If you do not have multiple jobs is not the case for historical to go data.  As you can see, once the jobs of cumulation have been established you now have historical data.  You should be good to go forward.
