Get more visibility of VMware ESXi: Metrics you should be monitoring

▤ Summary

Besides the proper architecture design and configuration, it is also important to keep an eye on performance, from the physical layer up to the virtual machines and hosted apps. PRTG is an all-in-one solution that can help you to monitor your physical servers, VMware, datastore, network cards, virtual machines, guest operating systems, and much more. For this, I recommend my article, Track the health status of physical servers via iDRAC, iLO, iRMC and IMM. It uses WBEM (Web-Based Enterprise Management), SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), and Rest API to collect metrics and display them within sensors. It gives you a general status overview of the host by showing alerts as well as normal, unknown, and warning states.
