About Virtual Machine Monitoring 4
Monitoring provides resource and performance visibility so that you can make sure your virtual machines
support your applications. When there are issues with application performance, you have extra visibility to
increase or decrease virtual machine resources to optimize performance.
You need to know whether a virtual machine is suffering from resource crunch (high utilization), storage
resource crunch, or other potential issues.
Displaying virtual machine details and statistics meets several goals:
n
Reports usage trends
n
Analyses trends for discrete time periods
n
Monitors performance
n
Provides troubleshooting
This chapter includes the following topics:
