No ESX metrics

I see the empty dashboards for ESX.

ls -la /var/lib/graphite/whisper/
total 24

There is no esx. node!
But for dashboards is needed series like "target": "esx.$vcenter.$datacentre.$esx.quickstats.cpu.effective",

Hi,

ESX dashboards are for standalone ESX only, ie ESX that are not in cluster.
If you don't have any standalone ESX, it's "normal" that these dashboard are empty

But VMware Cluster Multi ESX LiteStats is very uninformative(

[vmdude]

This one is for cluster indeed.
You have issue with this dashboard only ?

[avinchakov]

Also problems with VMware_ESX_FullStats of course. Thank you.

[vmdude]

The VMware_ESX_FullStats is for standalone server, so that should be "normal".
For the VMware Cluster Multi ESX LiteStats dashboard, did you try to change selected vcenter/datacentre/cluster/esx in the navigation bar ?
Do you have issue on all your objects ?

VMware Cluster Multi ESX LiteStats is working. Lack of metrics for IO of ESX or VM
