1
See at one sight, which Virtual Machines suffer from performance problems. Drill for CPU, Memory, Storage and Network Details.
2
Have an eye on your hosts – is there an overloaded hosts? Track all important metrics over time, so that you can respond to incidents.
3
Make a deep analysis of Virtual Machines, Hosts, Datastores, Network: How was performance at a certain point in time? See NUMA issues whit Opvizor, you would otherwise only see in ESXTOP right when they happen.
4
Make an in depth analysis for Latency, IOPS and Block sizes on your storage. See your read/write mix and have the numbers for optimizing your storage. Explore from VM side, host side, datastore side or see the picture from your storage system.
5
Have an Overview over your complete infrastructure, set Alarms where needed. See current and historic data and compare over time.
6
Make forecasts for your infrastructure. When will you need the next hardware upgrade, and are you currently still within operational limits?
7
Watch also your network hardware: Are there any ports producing errors? Is your network overloaded? Who causes excess traffic?
8
Watch VM Migrations: When was a virtual machine migrated and to which host?
9
Monitor MSSQL-Server performance over time – see CPU and Memory, and many specific details.
