Hello,

With the actual version of PRTG, how to monitor the latency on each DATASTORE, instaed of global latency per VMWare host

Is it possible through VCENTER sensor ?

If yes, how to do this

Thanks

Hello Jean-Luc,

Currently it is not possible to get individual values for each Datastore.

We are about to rewrite these Sensors for better performance and after that we will extend it with new features.

Kind regards

We don't measure latency on the VMware host side, but on the storage side. At this moment with a script which runs every 5 minutes on our physical backup server. Output has te be converted to XML. The folder "EVA Performance Monitor" has an alias in IIS on that backup server. In PRTG we have HTTP XML/REST sensors which read the data from the XML files.

f.e. Settings of the sensor >>

URL : http://%servername%/evaperf/hp1ctrl2.xml
XML node : Read_Latency__ms_

Maybe you can develop somethink likewise, and post it here ;) For example with esxtop .

PRTGplugins.com VMware ESX monitor is an option. I just saw that disk performance monitoring is under development.
