Now I did, Strange, I was sure they were enabled when I configured it…. Thx for the promptly response It is working now

BTW, Which graph can show me the VMs IOPS ?

[rschitz]

glad you sorted this out.
we dont have an i/o graf per vm but you can use the disk usage one to have an idea of the storage activity of the vm http://www.sexigraf.fr/vsphere-sexipanels/#vsphere-top-n-vm-stats

Thx, so last question if I may 😊 Suppose I wrote a script which provides me with the below output. I can run it every 5 minutes. How would it be possible for me to generate dashboard from this output? [cid:image001.png@01D6C34D.359A2180] Thx yossi

What metric do you need exactly?

I cant find the metric, But in general the main command I run is: get-stat -Realtime -stat 'disk.numberwrite.summation','disk.numberread.summation' for which I already collected the data. The question: is there a way to import the data from excel file to dashboard? thx

[rschitz]

we'll add the I/O metric per vm
#180

Thx a lot Raphael, So how can I use it? Do I need to download something?

[rschitz]
