With more than 35,000 installations worldwide, Veeam Monitor™ is the industry-standard for VMware monitoring. It provides a comprehensive, performance-oriented view of your entire virtual infrastructure that complements vCenter Server's administrative console. Unlike some VMware monitors, Veeam Monitor doesn’t introduce its own monitoring framework, so it’s easy to deploy and maintain.
Virtual infrastructure performance analysis
Veeam Monitor shows comprehensive resource consumption and workload data for hosts, clusters and datastores, with visibility all the way down to the individual VM and the applications running inside it. Find out at a glance which components of your VMware infrastructure are the largest resource consumers and which ESX(i) hosts are least loaded – right now and over time. View actual cumulative I/O load on a particular datastore to determine whether it is overloaded or can handle more VMs. Drill down into Windows and Linux/Unix VMs, ESX(i) hosts and vCenter Servers to monitor resource usage for specific applications. These capabilities speed up analysis and troubleshooting, and help you determine potential resource bottlenecks for both virtual server and VDI workloads.
Dashboards
Veeam Monitor includes a summary dashboard for each object in the infrastructure tree. You can now get an at-a-glance view of the most useful information for any object, and drill down to more detailed information, as required.
For any object above the cluster level (such as a datacenter), a cluster overview dashboard is also available. This dashboard provides the most important information about the health of all the underlying clusters.
Storage monitoring
Veeam Monitor provides full storage monitoring capabilities, including disk space, disk issues and datastore monitoring. The latter allows for viewing datastore load information aggregated from disk utilization statistics of all VMs and hosts using the specific datastore. This allows you to see the actual cumulative load on a particular datastore, and alarm when the datastore load is above a specified threshold. Datastore I/O monitoring is a unique Veeam Monitor feature not available from other VMware monitoring applications.
Hardware monitoring
To provide the most complete picture of your virtual datacenter, Veeam Monitor provides you with ESX(i) host hardware sensor information. This allows the VMware monitoring team to track physical hardware status (including ventilation, enclosure, power and other subsystems status) directly in Veeam Monitor. This eliminates the need for service console-based hardware monitoring agents, which are not supported on ESXi hosts.
Advanced alerting and built-in intelligence
Veeam Monitor includes over 125 pre-defined alarms and thresholds and an extensive knowledge base. The knowledge base explains each alarm and provides possible causes, suggested resolution, and links to sources of additional information. You get monitoring you can rely on, without getting overwhelmed with irrelevant alarms.
With Veeam Monitor, you can easily set up e-mail notifications or SNMP traps for important events such as a given number of running VMs is exceeded, host hardware status changes or specific events are generated by vCenter Server. Being alerted on such events allows for faster administrator response to critical issues, helping you maintain better health and uptime of your virtual infrastructure. The alarm modeling feature lets you quickly ensure that you have correctly set alarm benchmarks and thresholds by testing newly created alarms using historical data.
Correlation of event and performance data
Veeam Monitor helps you understand how virtual infrastructure activities affect your VM performance, and solve resource usage mysteries with real-time monitoring graphs displaying known virtual infrastructure events, such as vMotion, snapshot creation/deletion and backup activities, directly on performance graphs.
Consolidated monitoring
Veeam Monitor is an enterprise-class application that enables multi-administrator access to performance data without affecting ESX(i) host or vCenter Server performance or changing your access policies. It gathers all performance information into a Microsoft SQL Server database, allowing users to access infrastructure-wide performance data and reporting as needed. Veeam Monitor is integrated with VMware vCenter Server to provide cluster-aware monitoring of your virtual machines. Veeam Monitor supports and extends VMware’s management framework, offloading the monitoring burden from vCenter Server for enhanced vCenter Server performance. And with support for multiple vCenter Servers, Veeam Monitor shows performance data from your entire virtual infrastructure on a single screen – no matter how large your VMware deployment is.
