vCenter Server - Host Power Monitoring

Author : Kristina Bliznashka

URL : http:////docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.0/com.vmware.vsphere.html.hostclient.doc/GUID-4D1A6F4A-...

Topic Name : Host Power Management Policies

Publication Name : vSphere Single Host Management - VMware Host Client

Product/Version : VMware vSphere/6.0

Question :

I am wondering if it is possible in vSphere web client to extend the monitoring time that it keeps on the host Power Consumption? It currently only monitors it real-time, and I would like to configure it to span over a month.

This is why you should use another tool to monitor your hosts instead of the embedded monitoring that vSphere Web Client provides Smiley Wink

As diegodco31 suggests, vOM is quite good for monitoring (proactive and real-time).
