From now monitor VMware is easier thanks to the adoption of a control designed to work in depth on  ESX (i), vSphere, vCenter and VirtualCenter.
This control is able to deeply monitor the Host Server and all the virtual machines running on it. 

 The control thanks to VMware API is able to provide the following parameters:

 

NAME

APPLICATION

HOST (ESXi5.0)

Connectivity

Check if connection is up

Cpu_usage

Cpu usage percentage

Mem_Usage

RAM usage percentage

Swap

Swap memory usage in MB

Mem_Overhead

Return RAM overhead due to virtualization

Mem_Overall

VMware Server memory usage in  MB

VM_Mem_Ctl

Vmmemctl memory usage

Network_usage

Network throughput usage

Net_received

Incoming Network throughput usage in KBs

Net_sent

Outcoming Network throughput usage in KBs

NICs
