Solved: Re: Free Capacity Monitoring Tool

scotty_p · ‎09-16-2013

Hi all,

I'm looking for a free tool to report on vCenter capacity. Is anyone aware of anything good that's out there? I just tested out vBenchmark, but that's not exactly what I'm looking for. Something that can show graphs for memory, CPU and storage on a per cluster basis would be nice.

Thanks,

Scott

As Mustafa has mentioned, try Veeam ONE Free Edition. No restrictions on the number of hosts that you can monitor and report on. 24x7 real time monitoring. You can learn more about the product at the previously stated link.

Since there is not Free vCenter, i am thinking you have some kind of license. If you have a license you get foundation version of vCOPS. If thats what you looking for.

NMS open source tool.

It's Ok, but it only monitors a single host at a time.

now you can integrate your vcenter with Open Nms and monitor resources and capacity management of Vcenter. This is awesome tool ....Open nms is totally free.
