Progress WhatsUp Gold Virtualization Monitoring
Monitor VMware and Hyper-V Virtual Infrastructures

Features:

Discover Your Virtual Infrastructure

Get real-time and historical visibility into the performance of your virtual infrastructure in the context of the entire IT infrastructure – networks, physical servers and applications. Our Virtualization Monitoring feature discovers, maps, monitors, alerts and reports on VMware and Hyper-V performance for hosts and guests and clusters on the network.

Map Your Virtual Infrastructure

Automatically generate dynamic maps of your Hyper-V and VMware infrastructure, displaying hosts and guests, host/guest relationships, clusters, and real-time status.

With a single click, drill down to view performance data on any virtual resource on the map.

Monitor Your Virtual Infrastructure

Monitor VMware and Hyper-V in real-time to keep an up-to-date list of all hosts and attributes. Monitor the performance and resource consumption of hosts and guests, including CPU, Memory, Disk and Interface Utilization and the availability and performance of servers and tracks live migrations.

While Virtualization Monitoring is automatically set to poll every minute, system admins can customize their polling cycles to meet their specific needs. An event log provides a record of events generated from virtual devices.

Alert on Your Virtual Infrastructure

Generate threshold-based alerts on CPU, memory, disk and interface utilization on virtual machines and events including virtual machine status,  security related events and any alert generating an event log.

Alerts are sent via Email, SMS or log files and integrated into the WhatsUp Gold Alert Center - a single source for managing alerts across your entire IT environment.

Leverage VMware and Hyper-V management actions to power on/off, suspend, rest and lockdown guest machines in their virtual infrastructure directly from the WhatsUp Gold console.

Report on Your Virtual Infrastructure

Out-of-the-box reports include:

• Virtual Hosts (all hosts discovered on the network)
• Virtual Server Attributes (VIM and API versions, number of CPU cores, packages and threads; virtual machines, powered on and off, and suspended)
• Virtual Machine Current CPU, Memory, Disk and Interface Utilization reports.

Virtualization reports can be integrated into customized end-to-end dashboards of the entire IT infrastructure. IT staff can create a single dashboard view of their wired and wireless network, physical and virtual servers, and applications to quickly assess the health of their entire IT infrastructure and to identify and fix problems before they impact user, applications or the business.
