Free Virtualization Monitoring: Virtual Health Monitor
Free performance monitoring for VMware, Hyper-V, RHEV, and KVM environments
Virtual Health Monitor provides visibility into VM and infrastructure health• Monitor Storage, Compute, & Network performance in
single pane of glass• Flexible dashboards & reports: datacenters, clusters, hosts,
data stores, VMs• Efficiency recommendations to maximize resources• Unlimited scale – no limitations on number of hosts or VMs• Easy deployment – be up and running in less than an hour

With VHM you will experience:• Heads up dashboard listing any performance issues, efficiency opportunities, and
compliance violations
• Metric drilldowns to quickly diagnose the cause of workload performance degradations stemming from storage, compute, or network resource contention.
• Efficiency dashboard lists opportunities to rightsize VMs with corresponding reports to justify rightsizing actions to application owners.
• Model future infrastructure needs based on current growth rates and headroom
• Reports on VMs, Hosts, Clusters, and Datacenters, including utilization, capacity, and headroom. Email reports on configurable schedule.
• Agentless with no performance overhead – connects to vCenter or directly to hypervisors; pulls data from vCenter APIs (not vCenter database) to minimize performance impact.
• Easy to download, deploy, and configure – be up and running in less than an hour
• No Phone Home – we don’t collect information about your environment

Standard dashboards for performance, efficiency, and capacity planning
Performance alerts for VMs, Hosts, and Datastores
Quick overview of host health (or use drop down
to see datastores)
Click to see details for any alert
Trending metrics for the VM. vCPU is pegged near 100%
Host has available CPU capacity. Could increase vCPUs
from 1 to 2 to relieve congestion.
Associated datastore is healthy
An alert has been triggered for vCPU congestion.
Drill down: Diagnosing high vCPU utilization on a VM
Trending metrics for the host. Mem is pegged at 80%+
utilization.
Shows all VMs on the host. Could relieve congestion by moving one high mem consumer to different
host.
Associated data stores. Storage in this environment is
healthy.
An alert has been triggered for mem congestion.

VMTurbo generates misconfiguration alerts for
network connectivity. This VM hasn’t been assigned a network
in vCenter.
Misconfiguration Alerts
Cluster level performance
Many hosts in the cluster have high mem
utilization
Aggregate utilization for the cluster. Mem is not
constrained overall. Likely should better
balance load.
Memory congestion alerts
Host level performance
This host’s mem and CPU utilization
VMs running on this host. One VM is consuming most of the resources.
