ESX Sensor link to VM

Votes:

0

We have multiple ESX in use. On the ESX we have the Hardware, Performance and Datastore Sensor in use. Additionally the sensor, if the VM is up.

In our Device-List we have also the VM as Server monitored.

Devices

  • ESX1
    • VM1 only up Sensor
    • VM2 only up Sensor
  • ESX2
    • VM3 only up Sensor
    • VM4 only up Sensor
  • VM1 recommended Sensors
  • VM2 recommended Sensors
  • VM3 recommended Sensors
  • VM4 recommended Sensors

Is is possible, to link the ESX VM Sensor to this device?

Best regards Chris

Hi Chris,

If you want to monitor the VM with this sensor, you need to add it to the ESX device (i.e. a device that has the adress and proper credentials of your ESX server configured) :)

Kind regards
