Footnotes
1 The VMware performance counter path has the group/counter[rollup] format where:
group- the performance counter group, for example cpucounter- the performance counter name, for example usagemhzrollup- the performance counter rollup type, for example average
So the above example would give the following counter path: cpu/usagemhz[average]
See also: Creating custom performance counter names for VMware.
The performance counter group descriptions, counter names and rollup types can be found in VMware documentation.
2 The value of these items is obtained from VMware performance counters and the VMwarePerfFrequency parameter is used to refresh their data in Zabbix VMware cache:
- vmware.cl.perfcounter
- vmware.hv.datastore.read
- vmware.hv.datastore.write
- vmware.hv.network.in
- vmware.hv.network.out
- vmware.hv.perfcounter
- vmware.vm.cpu.ready
- vmware.vm.net.if.in
- vmware.vm.net.if.out
- vmware.vm.perfcounter
- vmware.vm.vfs.dev.read
- vmware.vm.vfs.dev.write
