Virtual Machine Performance Analysis Monitors

Virtual Machine Performance Analysis Monitors
Monitor/ Alert Name	Target	Parent Monitor	Thresholds	Alert Description
Veeam VMware: Virtual Machine CPU Usage Analysis	VMGUEST	Performance	cpuUsedPct >80 (warning) >90 (error)	The virtual machine [vm name] running on host [hostname] has a CPU usage issue. The VM has used [cpuUsedPct]% CPU. Usage is [cpuUsageMHz] MHz over [cpuCount] virtual cores. The alert also contains dynamically generated message text from correlation logic.
Veeam VMware: Virtual Machine CPU Scheduling Analysis	VMGUEST	Performance	cpuReadyPct >10 (warning) >25 (error) cpuCoStopPct >10 (warning) >25 (error) Overall state = worst state of any metric	The virtual machine [vm name] running on host [hostname] has a CPU scheduling issue. The alert also contains dynamically generated message text from correlation logic.
Veeam VMware: Virtual Machine Memory Usage Analysis	VMGUEST	Performance	memoryActivePct >90 (error) >80 (warning	The virtual machine [vm name] running on host [hostname] has a Memory usage issue. The alert also contains dynamically generated message text from correlation logic.
Veeam VMware: Virtual Machine Memory Ballooning and Swapping Analysis	VMGUEST	Performance	memoryBalloonPct > 50 memorySwapRate >100 cpuSwapWaitPct>25 If one metric is >threshold, then state=warning. If >1, then state=Critical.	The virtual machine [vm name] running on host [hostname] has a Memory resource issue. The alert also contains dynamically generated message text from correlation logic.
Veeam VMware: Virtual Machine Compute Latency Analysis	VMGUEST	Performance	memoryLatencyPct > 10 cpuLatencyPct>10 If one metric is >threshold, then state=warning. If >1, then state=Critical.	The virtual machine [vm name] running on host [hostname] has a Latency issue. The alert also contains dynamically generated message text from correlation logic.
Veeam VMware: Virtual Machine Storage Latency Analysis Note: This monitor does not show Top N virtual disks — just the top virtual disk for read latency, and top for write latency (could be the same disk).	VMGUEST	Performance	diskLatency >40 (warning) diskLatency>80 (error)	The virtual machine [vm name] running on host [hostname] has a Storage Latency issue. This VM uses datastore(s) [usesDatastores] The latest value for max latency to storage is [diskLatency] milliseconds. This is the most recent real-time sample value. The highest read and write latency by virtual disk averaged over the last collection interval is: Virtual Disk - Latency [virtualdisk name] - read latency [readLatency] ms [virtualdisk name] - read latency [readLatency] ms
Veeam VMware: Virtual Machine Disk Space Analysis Note: Only the disk partitions that are breaching threshold should be shown – this is not a Top N monitor.	VMGUEST	Performance	freeMB<100	The virtual machine [vm name] has a disk space issue. One or more disk partitions has breached the threshold for free MB remaining. The disk partitions breaching threshold are: Drive Name - Free Space MB [partition name] [freeMB]MB
Veeam VMware: Virtual Machine Snapshot Usage Analysis	VMGUEST	Configuration	SnapshotAgeHours > 48 snapshotsSizeMB>2048	The virtual machine [vm name] running on host [hostname] is using snapshot(s). The alert also contains dynamically generated message text from correlation logic.
