Monitoring and Managing VDI
Aseem Anwar
S.E. Channel UKI
with Veeam
� Need for real-time performance metrics
� Detailed alerting and fault finding tools
� Identification of bottlenecks
� Storage performance and sizing information
� Virtualised network utilisation statistics
� Aggregated view with the ability to deep-dive
� Resource usage and SLA monitoring
� Business centric view of resource consumption
Monitoring a VDI Deployment
Veeam Monitor
� Not another monitoring framework
� Agentless
� Automatically discovers all objects in the virtual
environment
� Requires no changes to access policies
� Includes 125+ pre-defined alarms and thresholds
Veeam Monitor

The complete picture
� Multiple vCenter Servers
� All hosts, including ESXi free
� Inside VMs: running processes, guest disk space
� Storage
� Hardware status
� Real-time and historical data
� Correlated performance and event data
� Displays vMotion, snapshot creation/deletion, backup and other
activities directly on performance graphs
� Helps solve resource usage mysteries
Eliminate common problems
� Problem: Guest OS runs out of local disk space
Solution: Monitor, alert and report on free disk space on
volumes inside the guest OS
� Problem: Abandoned snapshots fill the datastore,
affecting all VMs residing on that datastore
Solution:Warn if a VM’s snapshots exceed a specified
size; display top VMs for each node in the infrastructure
tree
� Problem: Host is running out of memory
Solution: Drill down into VMs, view their running
processes, and terminate processes as needed
Low overhead
� Collect once for any number of users and
any number of queries
� Offload monitoring from vCenter Server and ESX(i) hosts
for enhanced vCenter Server and host performance
� Easily access data from remote sites
How it works
� vSphere API� Single secure connection
� Scalable architecture
� Easy to configure
� Does not require a
physical host (can run in a
VM)
� SQL Server backend
� Broad version support� vCenter Server 4.x
Virtual Center 2.x
� ESX 4.x and 3.x
ESXi 4.x and 3.x
(including ESXi free)

Change Management
� Track all changes - Collects all 25 object types and ≈ 600
properties;monitors 150+ change-related events
� Provide audit data to aid in forensic analysis and
improve change workflow
� When problems arise, answers the all-important question
“what changed?”; provides data to restore settings
� Analyze configuration drift; reports on configuration at
any point in time

Capacity Planning
� Performs trend analysis for clusters, hosts and VMs to
see average load, peaks and bottlenecks
� Analyzes performance and utilization trends and predicts
when additional hardware is needed
� Maximize consolidation ratios - Optimizes VM placement
and uncovers spare resources
� Control VM sprawl and facilitate chargeback -Automatically categorizes VMs; identifies unmanaged
VMs; generates reports by group
