VMware Host HDD Space

Votes:

There is the Sensor: VMware Virtual Machine (SOAP), serveral channels are existent like CPU-Usage, Memory, etc.

My Question is the following:

Is there an Option to expand the existing monitorset to monitor available Diskspace on Host? On the VM-Machine, there is running Windows 2k8 R2. I wan't to have all data from the machine in one sensor. Workaround seperate sensors like wmi-hddspace is not so nice for the structure.

Thanks for help!

Kind regards. chris

Hi,
Currently the only way monitoring diskspace would be using one of the Disk Sensors of PRTG. An additional channel is not available.
Best regards

Thank's for reply. What a pity. The Data from VCenter would be available only need an monitor who will fit. Are there not enough customers they would use that? Any plans to implemnt that?

Best regards.

That channel added to the SOAP would be nice. We were looking for that same feature, today, for the 200+ VM servers that we are adding. That same feature is what lead us to this thread.

Hey Stefan,

actually this is still not possible with our native sensors, I'm afraid.

Best regards,
Sven
