Comparison between Site24x7 VMware Monitoring and VM monitoring using Site24x7 server agent
Site24x7 VMware Monitoring capabilities
Site24x7 VMware monitoring is agentless. An On-Premise Poller acts as a probe to collect data and sends it to Site24x7. With Site24x7 VMware Monitoring, you will be able to:
- Monitor vCenter
- Monitor VMware ESX/ESXi hosts
- Monitor VMware virtual machines (with vMotion handled automatically)
- Monitor VMware datastores and snapshots
- Monitor VMware resource pools and child resource pools
- Set thresholds for all key metrics and be alerted of their breach
- Auto-resolve performance and availability issues with IT Automation
VM monitoring using Site24x7 server agent
Site24x7 Server Monitoring is purely agent-based and gives metrics at the guest OS level. With Site24x7 Server Monitoring, you will be able to monitor the following:
- Monitor servers of different operating systems
- Monitor processes and services
- Integrate plugins
- Set thresholds for all key metrics and be alerted of their breach
- Auto-resolve performance and availability issues with IT Automation
