Overview

This VMware Extension connects to vCenter to gather metrics about your vSphere Clusters, ESXi Hosts, VM, Datastores, and Disks.

NOTE: This extension does consume licensing for Logs (see Details->vSphere Events ) and Custom Metrics. Due to the number of metrics collected and their potential cardinality in larger VMware vSphere deployments, if you are concerned about license usage please contact your Dynatrace account team for help with a sizing exercise. (See FAQ for more information.)

Use Cases

  • Monitor the health and performance of your VMware
  • Ensure optimal splitting of resources between the virtual machines
  • Detect problems and pinpoint the root cause in your virtualization and application layer

Get started

Simply activate the extension in your environment using the in-product Hub, provide the necessary configuration and you’re all set up.

Details

Prerequisites

  • VMware vCenter

  • Linux or Windows Environment ActiveGate with EEC Performance Profile of High or Dedicated.

    • Documentation here.
    • NOTE : When using the dedicated performance profile, by default the REST Interface is disabled. In order to ingest vCenter Triggered Alarms and vCenter Custom Attributes & Tags, the REST Interface must be turned back on in the ActiveGate's custom.properties file : 
      [collector]
restInterface = true

  • Connectivity from the ActiveGate to vSphere

  • A Read-Only user in vSphere

Compatibility Details

This extension uses the pyVmomi which has it's own compatibility information as listed on it's GitHub repo here.

pyVmomi maintains minimum backward compatibility with the previous four releases of vSphere and it's own previous four releases. Compatibility with much older versions may continue to work but will not be actively supported.

The extension currently uses pyvmomi==8.0.3.0.1.
