Overview
vSphere is VMware's cloud computing virtualization platform, offering tools for managing virtualized data centers.
Use the vSphere integration to:
- Collect vSphere logs, along with datastore, host, and virtualmachine metrics for comprehensive monitoring and analysis.
- Create informative visualizations to track usage trends, measure key metrics, and derive actionable business insights.
- Set up alerts to minimize Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Resolve (MTTR) by quickly referencing relevant logs during troubleshooting.
Data streams
The vSphere integration collects logs and metrics.
Logs help you keep a record of events that happen on your machine. The Log
data stream collected by vSphere as integration is log
.
Metrics give you insight into the statistics of the vSphere. The Metric
data streams collected by the vSphere integration are cluster
, datastore
, datastorecluster
, host
, network
, resourcepool
and virtualmachine
so that the user can monitor and troubleshoot the performance of the vSphere instance.
Data streams:
log
: Collects logs generated by VMware vSphere using a syslog daemon.cluster
: Collects metrics from VMware vSphere, such as lists of datastores, hosts and networks associated with cluster.datastore
: Gathers datastore metrics from VMware vSphere, including performance statistics such as capacity, usage, read/write operations, latency, and throughput.datastorecluster
: Gathers metrics for datastore clusters from VMware vSphere, including statistics like cluster capacity and available free space. Additionally, it provides information about the individual datastores that comprise the cluster.host
: Collects host metrics from VMware vSphere, including performance statistics such as CPU usage, memory usage, disk I/O, and network activity.resourcepool
: Collects metrics from VMware vSphere, such as CPU and memory usage, CPU and memory reservation, and CPU and memory limit.virtualmachine
: Gathers virtual machine metrics from VMware vSphere, including performance statistics such as status, uptime, CPU usage, memory usage, and network activity.network
: Gathers metrics and status information related to VMware vSphere networks, including network accessibility, connected hosts and virtual machines, configuration health, and network type.
Note:
Users can monitor and check the log inside the ingested documents for vSphere in the logs-*
index pattern from Discover
, and for metrics, the index pattern is metrics-*
.
Supported periods
- Real-time data collection: An ESXi Server collects data for each performance counter every 20 seconds by default.
- The
datastore
andhost
data streams support performance data collection using the vSphere performance API. - Since the performance API has usage restrictions based on data collection intervals, make sure that the period is configured optimally to receive real-time data. You can still collect summary metrics if performance metrics are not supported for the configured instance.
- Period configuration can be determined based on the Data Collection Intervals and Data Collection Levels.
Compatibility
This integration has been tested and verified against VMware ESXi and vCenter version 7.0.3.
Prerequisites
You can store and search your data using Elasticsearch and visualize and manage it with Kibana. We recommend using our hosted Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud or self-managing the Elastic Stack on your own hardware.
Setup
For step-by-step instructions on how to set up an integration, check the Getting started guide.
Logs
The log
data stream collects logs generated by VMware vSphere using a syslog daemon.
To collect logs, follow these steps:
-
Configure the listening host/IP address (default: localhost) and host port (default: 9525) in the integration.
-
Configure vSphere to send logs to a remote syslog host and provide the configured hostname/IP and port of the Elastic Agent host.
An example event for log
