Prerequisites for vMotion to be captured by Site24x7

  • Both the source and the destination VMware ESX/ESXi host monitors must be monitored using the same Site24x7 On-Premise Poller and should be in Active state, i.e. the monitor should not be suspended.
  • The source and the destination VMware ESX/ESXi host monitors should have VMware discovery enabled. 
    If not, you can enable VM discovery by editing the existing VMware ESX/ESXi host monitors by navigating to VMware > ESX/ESXi Host. Click on the hamburger icon near the monitor name and click Edit. Under Discover and Auto-add resources, toggle Yes for Virtual Machines. 
  • In the VMware ESX/ESXi add/edit form, under Discover and Auto-add resources, there is an option to Exclude Virtual Machine if its name contains. If your VM's name contains any of those specified patterns, vMotion will not take place.
