Why Monitor VMware ESX Infrastructures?

VMware ESX infrastructures are business critical. They host key servers and applications that power the business online.
Failure or slowness of one server affects the performance of all VMs hosted on it. So, the impact of failure or slowness is severe.
VMware ESX virtualization has several components. Processors, memory, datastores, LUNs, storage adapter, network interfaces and hardware that have to be managed. Clustering and dynamic migration also needs to be tracked and monitored.
For fast problem diagnosis, it is important to triage a problem and determine the root-cause: is it the hypervisor, or storage, or the virtual network, or the VMs that are causing the issue?

Solve Top VMware ESX Performance Issues
in Minutes with eG Enterprise

Is the hardware working properly? Temperature, Voltage, Sensors, all ok?
Is there sufficient CPU capacity? Any CPU throttling? How is CPU Ready time?
Is memory overcommitted? Is memory ballooning happening?
Is latency to storage LUNs within acceptable limits?
Which VMs are taking more resources compared to others?

Are all ESX servers connected to the vCenter?
Are there any orphaned VMs?
Is there sufficient CPU and memory available to the clusters?
Is excessive vMotion happening and why? How long does vMotion take?
What tasks and actions are being performed by vCenter and did they succeed?
