# Performance Analysis Monitors

Veeam MP for VMware has a unique feature of Performance Analysis Monitors. These monitors can:

1. Accept multiple performance metric inputs, with multiple thresholds.
2. Gather related data on other vSphere objects and perform real-time analytics.
3. Output dynamically generated Alert Descriptions.

The auto-generated description text may include:

- ‘Top N’ related objects (for example the “Top 5 VMs for CPU usage” on a given host)
- Troubleshooting hints (such as “CPU Limit setting on this VM is very low”)
- Additional guidance and metric correlation data

The definition for one of these advanced monitors is shown below as an example. This monitor gathers 3 key metrics related to VM memory usage, specifically:

- memoryBalloonPct
- memorySwapRate
- cpuSwapRatePct

For definitions of these metrics see the [Veeam MP for VMware Reference](https://www.veeam.com/documentation-guides-datasheets.html?prd=mp).
