Monitoring options

I would like to monitor all my ESXi hosts and export weekly reports, trigger alarms on certain conditions etc.

I'm looking for free or low cost solutions.  Try Veeam monitor free of charge, but it is somewhat limited.  Are there any other good free alternatives?

4.1, including remote support mode, there are scripts that track?

Basically, I want to see things like the use of the HARD disk on data stores, CPU, RAM, network traffic and maybe even the physical health of the host machine.

Looking for all the different options. Will pay for a solution if it is justified.

William Lam has covered you. He wrote an excellent script that you can run from an admin account with administrative privileges on your vCenter server or it can be run from the free vMA (Assistant vshpere) VAPP. I have been using this script for a while now, and you can tweak it for as little or as much as you want to know about your environment.  It's free so it requires a little effort on part of the administrator, but it is definitely worth it.

  • No multi monitor option

    I use a laptop computer at work than the docks so I have multiple screens. I took my laptop home and has not been able to see a window that I had on one of the multiple screens before I removed it from the dock. I have messed around with the settings and was able to get all the windows on a single screen. Now I'm back at work and I don't have the option multi screen options. I don't know if I removed the option all together, but is it possible to reset these options or add the option monitor multi back?

    Thank you

    Generally, for that you hold down the Windows logo key and type a P (for 'project') to re - activate the second screen.  Although on some laptops there is also a specific special keyboard than the manufacturer call (my old computer Asus needed by pressing Fn + SHIFT + F7 all at once to toggle the additional screen, but it is different on each manufacturer).

    Can I ask what version of Windows you are using?

  • Dual monitor Option available in C60

    Hello

    I was setting up a C60 Nomenclature for one of my clients. By making a selection in the option of software feature, I was able to get to select Lic for Multisite and Premium resolution, but not dual display.

    Is there is some other partcode to select the dual display option or it is by default when we order C60. Also, in the description of C60 partcode nothing was mentioned for DD Lic.

    Reagards,

    Aastha

    Hello

    Dual license is not required for another series, such as C40, C60 and C90, for example.

  • Key the Option for monitoring REMOT sx20

    SX20 shows "snapshot requires a key option for remote monitoring. but I have not received any key option with the option key of remote monitoring feature of Cisco. another link said remote monitoring option will require additional cost of 1 January 2016. Now my question is how to activate it and if it takes the cost what is the part number for key option for remote monitoring...

    The obligation to have a key Option Remote Monitoring installed to see snapshots of the cameras and the content on the page of the Web Interface call control was introduced in the version of the TC7.3.3 software.  If you are running a version of software before that, then you will be able to see the snapshots without such a key installed.

    To get the key of the remote control, you should buy Cisco, is around US $100 price per endpoint.

    The license you wish to lie beneath the level superior SKU L-TP-RM.  Then choose L-C-SERIES-RM, L-MX-SERIES-RM, L-SX-SERIES-RM, L-EX-SERIES-RM or L-TEACHER-SERIES-RM below, according to what end point of model you need to.

    There are a number of people in the forums who see it as nothing else that a money grab from Cisco as they now charge for a feature that should be free.

    This has been discussed several times in these forums before - some links to sample on this feature, the necessary licenses, and problems with the features are:

  • Cannot use external monitor as primary monitor with Portege M400

    I'm unable to use the extended feature deasktop with my m400. I installed the latest video drivers. When I go to the driver intel graphics media accelerator under display properties and choose extended Office I can't use my external monitor as the primary monitor.

    The same thing on my satellite.
    I m not able to activate the device primary option on the external monitor.
    Of course, I m able to use the extended desktop and other options of the external monitor option but the parameters of the primary device for external monitor are gray.

    So I think that it of not possible to do something like that. As mentioned above, it could be a technical limitation.

    Hi all!

    I have a problem when you use the vga of the Tecra R840-111 with my external monitor/TV (LG M237WDP).
    Restarts it continuously monitor (it seems to restart).

    This behavior does not occur with another external monitor or if I use another laptop with the monitor named above.

    My toshiba has a kind of hidden in the bios menu diagnosis?
    I know that some laptop requires the user to for example hit CTRL + V in the bios in order to enter the diagnostic menu. Is there something like this?

    Can you help me?

    Thank you.
    Marco.

    Hello

    I have exactly the same external monitor but I don't t notice any monitor emits as you described in the message.
    I have two laptops and the monitor is connected to using VGA cable and DVI cable for two laptops
    In both cases, the monitor does not restart so I m not quite sure what you are talking about

    With regard to the BIOS.
    It s don't know for me about the hidden in the BIOS menus.
    In addition, you said that this problem does not occur with Linux, so I would say that its certainly nothing wrong with the BIOS. Also this theory would confirm because the other external monitor works well.

    Maybe some sort of software preinstalled Windows OS cause this?

    Also in the BIOS, you can choose the detection of the external monitor option (or something similar). Usually its set to automatic, but I assign this internal display.

  • Satellite X 200-219: 3 screens in the display options

    My x 200-219 has been less than a year when he started playing up.
    He went to the authorized repair center of Toshiba warranty, unfortunately, these guys wasn't able to fix it if she had to go back to Toshiba direct.

    The problem I had was with the graphics cards and apparently they both require replacing as they had "burned" even though I was unable to get a Toshiba technical report on what the real problem was.

    I now have my laptop back, but with a difference.
    In my display properties, I used to have the main screen and a second screen, I could extend my monitor to i run in non - sli, as it is a feature that I need.
    Given that my laptop came back, on my screen options I now display 1, 2 AND 3rd screen!

    Where this comes from? What is this for?

    All my drivers are up to date since the the Web from Toshiba site before he went away, so I don't understand what they have done to my laptop to give this extra screen output?

    Anyone know?

    Gary

    Remove the graphics from the device manager driver, reboot the laptop and install the graphics of the page of the European driver Toshiba driver.
    Reboot again and check if a 3rd monitor option seems once again!

  • Qosmio x 300 - no option of dual display using analog

    Have plugged an analog monitor. I can get an image on the analog monitor or laptop LCD, but I can't it to appear on both, i.e. double - extended display either office or clone.
    I have a Qosmio (a regret since buying it because of all the problems it has and the customer service Toshiba have!). It s a x 300 - 13w and I'm under win vista x 64.

    I have the latest drivers from Toshiba Web site and search for various forums, I tried to find a "reg" key called DisableDualView but could not find such a key (the key probably exists only in win xp).

    After removing the analog monitor my laptop now plays upward like that whenever it connects he does under a lower resolution, and then moves to the correct high-resolution.
    Have tried to turn off sli in case it was the cause of the problem, but that was no help.

    The problem seems to be that nvidia or windows display settings panel displays the option for multiple monitors, both display only a single monitor option.

    In the display settings of windows I see that monitor on nvidia geforce 9800... "generic php" and when I plug the analog monitor it says «multiple monitors on nvidia geforce...» "but the monitor icon shows only a monitor.

    In the nvidia Control Panel I see only the only use a (single) display"' option.
    Any suggestions on what I might try?

    Seem to have a memory of having to change something in the BIOS to switch using HDMI and VGA, I don't remember where I might have seen elsewhere.

    Are you using the original Toshiba (Vista 64-bit) recovery image or your own installation of the OS?
    You can use FN + F5 key combination to switch between the office and external device?

  • Monitor very dark on my Satellite A200

    Hello.

    I am the owner of a Satellite A200-130 since may, and the screen is really dark. In addition, I can't find how to access its control panel to adjust it.

    I wonder:
    1. If there are any windows XP drivers for my monitor, because it is currently recognized as 'plug-and-play monitor. "
    2. How do I access the monitor options?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Usually you can alter the brightness of the display on two ways: using FN + F6, F7 key combination or by using energy saving settings.

    I guess you cannot use FN key combination because some people have reported that it works well on Windows XP Home edition, but you can check the settings for display brightness in Toshiba Power Saver tool.

    Please test and give some feedback.

  • Cannot set a primary monitor with 2 monitors

    OK, here's the situation. I have two monitors, a 22 "widesceen LED and a 32" LCD screen, I have the smallest monitor connected via DVI and the cotyledon connected via HDMI. Whenever I plug the big one HDMI, he succeeded to the main screen and does not allow me to make the smaller monitor the primary monitor. This is because the primary monitor option is grayed out and I can't check it. So far, I am aware of the vista updates and also up-to-date with the graphics drivers. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi Venom,

    Method 1

    I suggest you to check if the value for both monitors screen resolution are the same. You can try to set the same for both monitors screen resolution and check if it works very well. Access the link below and follow the steps to change the screen resolution.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-your-screen-resolution

    Also access the link below to learn more about the use of multiple monitors.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/work-and-play-better-with-multiple-monitors

    Method 2

    If the steps above do not help, you may contact the manufacturer of the computer and check with the BIOS to display settings and adjust it accordingly.

    NOTE: Changing the BIOS / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from configuration can resolved BIOS/CMOS settings. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
