Hi Luc,

just checking yur post

vNIC transmit and receive rates - LucD notes

i have been trying to find this for two vms and three esxi hosts and stuck in following questions.

1:code does not work as get follwoing error .

C:\users\user1\desktop\> Get-VmNicStat

cmdlet Get-VmNicStat at command pipeline position 1

Supply values for the following parameters:

VM[0]: vm1

VM[1]: vm2

VM[2]:

Start: $start

Cannot recognize "$start" as a System.DateTime due to a format error.

Start: Thursday, October 04, 2018 9:18:02 PM

Get-VmNicStat : Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'VM'. Cannot convert value

"System.Collections.ArrayList" to type "VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.Inventory.VirtualMachineImpl[]". Error:

"Cannot convert the "vm1" value of type "System.String" to type

"VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.Inventory.VirtualMachineImpl"."

At line:1 char:1

+ Get-VmNicStat

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (:) [Get-VmNicStat], ParameterBindingArgumentTransformationException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentTransformationError,Get-VmNicStat

also how do we know if these valsue is high as there are some alerts like below

vm1   tx rate is high 10554 KBps   

  esxi 1 rx rate is high  30968 KBps

  vm2  transmit rate is high (13941 KBps

esxi 3 transmit rate is high (41013 KBps)

esxi 4  receive rate is high (30515 KBps)

is there any threshold mentioned somewhere ??

If you increase the statistics level for an interval there will be more statistical data collected.

When you increase the statistics level from the Web Client, it will show an estimate of the space required.

Compare that with the actual size to determine if you need to increase the DB size.
