Getting Data In

vmware ESXi get physical disk installed in host

Hi community,

For those who have worked constructing virtualization system metrics with VMWare, I would like to build an indicator of the total physical disk installed in each of my Host (ESXi) vs what is in use. I use the VMWare Add-on to obtain ESXi metrics, however, data from the physical disks does not arrive, only datastore events arrive, but not all my disks are assigned to a datastore.

Someone can tell me how I can obtain the data of the physical disks installed in each of my ESXi.

Thank you,
