Hyper-V Monitoring
Hyper-V servers and guest machines monitored together: from the general, the server, to the specific, the performance of each VM.
From the server to individual VMs
Microsoft Hyper-V is a hypervisor-based virtualisation solution for x86-64 systems. Virtualised environments are increasingly used to improve efficiency and reduce costs, but bringing an entire virtual infrastructure under monitoring can be laborious and time-consuming.
The Sentinet³ Hyper-V Server Pattern monitors Hyper-V servers and all guest machines at the same time, for thorough and always up-to-date monitoring of the infrastructure: the checks range from the general (the server) to the specific (the VMs).

| Pattern | Sentinet³ Hyper-V Server Pattern |
| Platform | Microsoft Hyper-V on x86-64 systems |
| Scope | Hyper-V servers, guest virtual machines |
The Pattern’s checks
Every check has operator-configurable thresholds and sends notifications when values exceed them.
The Hyper-V server
| Check | What it verifies |
|---|---|
| Reachability | The server responds on the network |
| Info (VMs present) | List of the virtual machines present on the server |
| Info (VMs running) | Running virtual machines |
| Ram | Percentage of RAM in use |
| CPU | CPU utilisation |
| Proc | Running processes |
| ProcNum | Number of running processes |
| Disk | Percentage of disk space |
| Page_size | Size of a file |
| All_size_pages | Total size of all files |
| Page_age | Creation date of a file |
| Networks | Valid interfaces of the server |
| Uptime | Server uptime |
| All_Driver_size | Capacity of all the server’s disks |
| Event_Log_Application | Application log events in the last 4 hours |
| Service_OK | Services configured for automatic start |
VM performance
| Check | What it verifies |
|---|---|
| Uptime | VM uptime |
| Ram | RAM allocated to each individual VM |
| CPU | Percentage of CPU used by each individual VM |
Thorough monitoring
- Server and guests together: the Pattern monitors the Hyper-V server and all its virtual machines at the same time.
- From the general to the specific: first the server’s resources, processes, disks and services, then the uptime, RAM and CPU of each VM.
- Fast onboarding: a quick and effective way to bring the servers and clients of the virtualised infrastructure under monitoring.
