# vSphere Hosts. Hardware Temperature

This report aggregates historical data and shows temperature statistics for selected vSphere hosts across a time range.

## Description

The **vSphere Hosts. Hardware Temperature** report is a linked report that is based on the Veeam Performance Report from the Veeam Report Library.

The report is based on the host temperature performance counter. The object picker control for the report scope has a predefined filter which limits selection to Objects of the **VMware vSphere Host** class and Groups that include objects of the **VMware vSphere Host** class.

::: note

All hardware performance monitoring rules have been removed from the default *Veeam VMware Monitoring* MP and added to the optional *Veeam VMware Advanced ESXi Hardware Monitoring (CIM-based)* MP included in Veeam MP for Microsoft System Center Resource Kit. As a result, the report will not show any data unless you import the *Veeam VMware Advanced ESXi Hardware Monitoring (CIM-based)* MP and manually enable CIM-based hardware monitoring. For more information, see the [Veeam MP for Microsoft System Center Resource Kit Guide](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/mp/resource_kit/introduction.html?ver=90).

## Parameters

Data Aggregation: defines the aggregation period (Hourly or Daily).

Date/time Selection: defines the time period to analyze in the report.

Histogram: defines the type of values shown on the x-axis of the chart.

Split into sections by: defines whether the sections will be split by hosts, selected groups/objects, or counters.

Chart Options: defines the type of an object for which a separate chart will be displayed. The list of available options depends on the Split into sections by value.

Scope: defines a list of Groups or Objects to analyze in the report. The **Add Group** option returns a Group and all objects that a group contains (with all performance counter instances). The **Add Object** option returns only the selected object.

Counters: defines collection rules for performance counters to analyze in the report.

## Sample Usage

Report on vSphere hosts temperature during this week.

### Instructions

1. Open the vSphere Hosts. Hardware Temperature report.
2. From the **Data Aggregation** list, select *Daily*.
3. From the **From** list, select *This Week* > *Monday*. From the **To** list, select *This Week* > *Friday*.
4. From the **Histogram** list, select *No*.
5. In the **Split into sections by** list, select *VMware vSphere Host*.
6. In the **Scope** section, click **Add Group**. Click **Search** and select all hosts. Click **Add** and click **OK**.
7. In the **One chart for** list, select *Counter*.
8. Click **Run** to view the report.

**Report Output**

The report will show how the temperature (as reported by host sensors) has changed for the selected hosts during the week.

The table will detail daily values for temperature (sample count, average, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation values).

You can click the **Instance: _Total** link in the output table to drill down to the [Veeam Performance Details Report](veeam_performance_details_report.md).
