Simultaneous Host Performance Monitoring

[Chris_Price]

Is it possible with VI Client (2.0.0) to simultaneously view the performance graph for each ESX host. (Currently 3 blades - ESX on each.) I'm not so much concerned with individual VM monitoring, rather HOST monitoring.

At the Data Center level, there is no performance tab.

I tried creating a folder and placing all three ESX hosts in the folder. But again, no performance tab.

Is this doable?

Regards,

Chris

At CLuster level is possible.

You could also open two VI clients or make a Performance Report.

What do you mean it is possible at cluster level? The CPU graph shows the total CPU utilization, but not each of the cluster nodes separately.

The one thing I can think of is to use the "Popup Chart" option on the performance tab of each server and have a separate window for each host.

Of course, if you need a comparitive graph only, you could export the data into a spreadsheet and make the combined graph there...

This is not possible with VC.

Take a look at Vizioncore's esxCharter.

(I don't work for them)
