How to collect metrics of vmware performance in Sp... - Splunk Community

Getting Data In

Hello! Can someone advise me how I can collect metrics of perfomance of vmware vms?

The vmware app is great. However it does not collect all the data that is available. I ended up using the vmWare app for the big picture, but wrote my own app to collect more detailed info. In my case I'm pulling io_read/write from vCenter using pyvmomi.

The app does collect lots of performance stats, they are not enabled by default. Found what I Needed in the docs, the config docs.

Thanks, but this by itself. Expensively. Whether there are options to make most?
