I'm trying to find a way to automate the collection of disk metrices from our VC server so we can start reporting iops at the disk level on each esx host and guest os in a csv file. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could accomplish that task? I'm rather new to vmware, so forgive me if this seems

Thanks

Hi,

If you're new to the VMware API/SDK's, first take a look at this document: Getting Started with vSphere SDKs

Here is a great page to get started with performance monitoring with VMware API/SDKs: VMware vSphere - SDK Performance Monitoring - Resource

You'll want to get familiar with the performanceManager managed object: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.PerformanceManager.html
