Metrics collected by VMware ETLs
This topic lists Configuration and Performance metrics in BMC Helix Continuous Optimization collected by VMware ETL modules for entities such as Virtual Hosts, Clusters, VMs, Resource Pools, Datastores, Datastore Clusters, and data centers.
Virtual Host configuration metrics
1 Indicates metrics that are set at level 4. These metrics are imported only when the collection level of the ETL is set to ‘Extended’.
For information about changing the collection level, see VMware-vCenter-Extractor-Service. Alternatively, you can create a custom metric profile to change the level of these metrics. For details, see Adding-and-managing-metric-profiles.
2 Indicates metrics available for HostInternetScsiHba Host Bus Adapter if the HBA card is configured.
3 Indicates metrics available for HostFibreChannelHba Host Bus Adapter if the HBA card is configured.
Virtual Host performance metrics
1 Indicates metrics that are set at level 4. These metrics are imported only when the collection level of the ETL is set to ‘Extended’. For information about changing the collection level, see VMware-vCenter-Extractor-Service. Alternatively, you can create a custom metric profile to change the level of these metrics. For more information, see Adding-and-managing-metric-profiles.
2 Indicates metrics for which custom details can be imported using the VMware - vCenter Extractor Service ETL.
Virtual Host Datastore performance metrics
All the metrics are set at level 4. These metrics are imported only when the collection level of the ETL is set to ‘Extended’. For information about changing the collection level, see VMware-vCenter-Extractor-Service. Alternatively, you can create a custom metric profile to change the level of these metrics. For details, see Adding-and-managing-metric-profiles.
Virtual Machine configuration metrics
1 Indicates metrics that are set at level 4. These metrics are imported only when the collection level of the ETL is set to ‘Extended’. For information about changing the collection level, see VMware-vCenter-Extractor-Service. Alternatively, you can create a custom metric profile to change the level of these metrics. For more information, see Adding-and-managing-metric-profiles.
Virtual Machine performance metrics
1 Indicates metrics that are set at level 4. These metrics are imported only when the collection level of the ETL is set to ‘Extended’. For information about changing the collection level, see VMware-vCenter-Extractor-Service. Alternatively, you can create a custom metric profile to change the level of these metrics. For more information, see Adding-and-managing-metric-profiles.
2 Indicates metrics for which details will be imported every 15 minutes irrespective of the resolution used in the VMware - vCenter Extractor Service ETL.
3 Indicates metrics for which custom details can be imported using the VMware - vCenter Extractor Service ETL.
Virtual Machine Datastore performance metrics
All the metrics are set at level 4. These metrics are imported only when the collection level of the ETL is set to ‘Extended’. For information about changing the collection level, see VMware-vCenter-Extractor-Service. Alternatively, you can create a custom metric profile to change the level of these metrics. For details, see Adding-and-managing-metric-profiles.
