VMware Data Collection Levels

VMware Data toplama seviyeleri bulunmaktadır. Bu seviyelere Level 1,2,3,4 olarak değiştikçe log disk’in de tutulan alan boyutu değişecektir.

Varsayılan Log seviyesi Level-1’dir. Ciddi bir sorun olmadığı sürece varsayılan seviye değiştirilmemesi önerilir. Sorun çözülmesi için geçici olarak Level seviyesi artırılabilir.

Statics Levels tablosunu VMware’in yayınladığı makaleden alınmıştır.

Statistics Levels
Level
Metrics
Best Practice
Level 1
  • Cluster Services (VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler) – all metrics
  • CPU – cpuentitlement, totalmhz, usage (average), usagemhz
  • Disk – capacity, maxTotalLatency, provisioned, unshared, usage (average), used
  • Memory – consumed, mementitlement, overhead, swapinRate, swapoutRate, swapused, totalmb, usage (average), vmmemctl (balloon), totalbandwidth (DRAM or PMem)
  • Network – usage (average), IPv6
  • System – heartbeat, uptime
  • Virtual Machine Operations – numChangeDS, numChangeHost, numChangeHostDS
Use for long-term performance monitoring when device statistics are not required.
Level 1 is the default Collection Level for all Collection Intervals.
Level 2
  • Level 1 metrics
  • CPU – idle, reservedCapacity
  • Disk – All metrics, excluding numberRead and numberWrite.
  • Memory – All metrics, excluding memUsed, maximum and minimum rollup values, read or write latency (DRAM or PMem).
  • Virtual Machine Operations – All metrics
Use for long-term performance monitoring when device statistics are not required but you want to monitor more than the basic statistics.
Level 3
  • Level 1 and Level 2 metrics
  • Metrics for all counters, excluding minimum and maximum rollup values.
  • Device metrics
Use for short-term performance monitoring after encountering problems or when device statistics are required.
Level 4
All metrics supported by the

vCenter Server

, including minimum and maximum rollup values.

Use for short-term performance monitoring after encountering problems or when device statistics are required.
