Does the VMWarePerformance agent collect the CPU Utilization of each processor for VMs? (SR 2195132)

Hi All,

- SR: 2195132

- Customer: Array Services

- Environment:

  Foglight for Virtualization 6.8 (V5.6.7 Foglight)

  V5.6.7 VMWare cartridge

  V5.6.7 Infrastructure Cartridge

- Issue/Question:

Does the VMWarePerformance agent collect the CPU Utilization of each processor?

I checked the following location for 3 VMs, and I only found the following metrics collected for each processor:

   Hosts | All Hosts | | CPUs | Porcessors | | Detail

      Percent System Time

      Used Hz

My customer initially had IC agents set up to monitor some of his VM hosts that were also monitored by the VMwarePerformance agent. This was causing churn so I asked him to disable the CPU, Disk, Memory, and Network collections of the IC agents. After he disabled the collections he found that the per processors CPU Utilization was no longer available. This is a metric he needs. If this metric is not available from the VMWarePerformance agent then we will add the hosts to the user blacklist and re-enable the CPU, Disk, Memory, and Network collections of the IC agents.

Thank you,

Karen Smithwa
