VMware ESXi monitoring history location

[ferdis]

Hi,

where and how does ESXi holds monitoring history data? Becouse if you log with vSphere Client directly to ESXi you can see monitoring history. Where are those data located? There is no database like in vCenter so?

Thank you.

No, since there is no DB running, most stats are kept for no more than one hour.

However, I think you'll find this link interesting:
