Need tool to monitor VM adjustments to memory/cpu etc.

Hi all - I am looking for some sort of tool or whatnot that will tell me/alert me if an adjustment is made to a virtual machine. Meaning if someone adjusts the memory of a VM from 512mb to 1024mb, i want to know.

Is something out there that can do this? Im not looking for VM performance monitoring, more or less some type of auditing? Thanks!

My setup ~

Tons of ESX hosts running through VirtualCenter, heh..

Hello,

You may wish to check out Tripwire or Configuresoft. They may have that functionality. I know of only one tool that definitely has this functionality at the moment but its internal use only at least until the end of the year or so.

You can also query the VC database or check the VMX files to see if something has changed.

Hello,

Our newly released Veeam Reporter Enterprise is capable of sending automated change notification emails with attached Excel report that lists all of the changes made to your Virtual Infrastructure since last data collection pass - information like what exactly was changed, previous and new values is provided. And because the report is in Excel, you can easily sort it to see only stuff you are interested in (for instance, only VM virtual hardware changes).

Please follow this link for more information

Hope this helps!
