VMCluster-cpu

cpuPressure

_Total

CPU Pressure is a percentage which expresses CPU overcommitment, by showing the ratio of virtual machine vCPU count versus the number of host physical CPU cores. This metric is unique to the Veeam MP for VMware and cannot be seen in vCenter.

This metric is based on the setting available in the Veeam Extensions UI named 'RecommendedvCPUPerCore'. This setting can be changed in the Veeam Extensions UI, on the Veeam Collectors tab, using Collector Settings link.

This setting is used to calculate the cpuPressure metric per vSphere host by converting the ratio to a percentage. When the host is running total vCPUs (for powered-on VMs) on all host cores equal to the 'RecommendedvCPUPerCore' setting, then the cpuPressure metric will be equal to 100%.

If the number of vCPU per Core is exceeded, then this metric can be greater than 100%.

The metric per-host is rolled up to calculate a total percentage of CPU overcommit for the cluster.

VMCluster-cpu

cpuUsageMHz

_Total

The current CPU usage for the vSphere cluster (in MHz).

VMCluster-cpu

cpuUsedPct

_Total

The average of the physical CPU usage of each vSphere host in the cluster. For example, if a cluster was composed of 2 vSphere hosts and HostStats.cpuUsedPct values are 50% and 60%, then this value will show 55%.

VMCluster-disk

freeStorageTB

_Total

Total amount of free space for all datastores in the cluster.

VMCluster-memory

memoryPressure

_Total

Rolled up total of memoryPressure for all vSphere hosts in the cluster. It is expressed as a percentage, which can go above 100%. It shows potential memory over-commitment issues in the cluster. This value is calculated internally in the Collector, so is not visible in vCenter. Factors used in the calculation include - Total allocated memory for powered-on VMs, Memory overhead , the effects of TPS (Transparent Page Sharing), and total available physical memory in all hosts.

VMCluster-memory

memoryUsedMB

_Total

Physical memory usage on hosts in the cluster (in MB). The metric is equivalent to the VMware memory consumed.

VMCluster-memory

memoryUsedPct

_Total

This value is calculated as ratio of the sum of cluster memoryUsedMB and memory overhead for all VMs in the cluster vs. the amount of memory available in the cluster and is expressed as a percentage.

VMCluster-disk

usageRateKB/s

_Total

Sum of totalDiskUsageRate values for all hosts in this cluster.

VMCluster-net

usageRateKB/s

_Total

Network utilization, total usage rate at which data is received and transmitted across all physical NIC instances in the cluster.

VMCluster

vCPU Count

_Total

Total number of configured vCPUs for all VMs in this cluster.

VMCluster

vmActive

_Total

Number of active (for example, powered up) virtual machines belonging to this cluster.

VMCluster

vMotions

_Total

Total number of migrations with vMotion that occurred in the cluster over the collection interval.

VMCluster

vmShutdown

_Total

Number of virtual machines in a shutdown (for example, powered off) state belonging to this cluster.

VMCluster

vmSuspended

_Total

Number of virtual machines in a suspended state belonging to this cluster.

VMCluster

vmTotal

_Total

Total number of virtual machines in all states belonging to this cluster.
