Monitor VMware Host CPU, Memory

Votes:

0

I am sure there is a way to do this but I am getting stuck. I already have Vmware SOAP sensor that is monitoring the virtual machines CPU, Memory, disk etc..

Is there a way to Monitor the physical host CPU, Memory that those virtual machines reside on?

What Sensor would I use?

I did check out the hardware SOAP but that gives me a summary, is there a way to pull this information from VCenter since that has the CPU and memory of the physical host?

Thanks for your help.

Hey Thanks Torsten,

I guess I was looking at the WBEM sensor which looks at Fans, Voltage, etc..

Thanks for your help.
