Virtual Machine Channel POWER SOAP Sensor

https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/vmware_virtual_machine_soap_sensor

Hi,

I don't find what che channel 'power' of the soap sensor for a virtual machine, means.

Maybe the virtual machine status like freezing or halted?

power soap virtual-machine vmware

That channel indeed shows the current wattage drawn by the server. However, it shouldn't be just 2W, except you're running it on a raspberry pi :D Can you see any power stats within ESXi?

Hi, thank you.

So it indicates the power like WATT, not a power like 'status' (0=ok, 1=problems)

is there a way to check the healt of VM? Like if it's freeze?

It's the current power drawn in watt, yep. You could add a ping sensor to the actual VM - if it's not responding, the VM might have freezed :)
