eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by VsGuestTest

This test monitors the amount of the physical server's resources that each guest on an MS Virtual server is taking up. Using the metrics reported by this test, administrators can determine which virtual guest is taking up most CPU, which guest is generating the most network traffic, which guest is taking up the maximum memory utilization, which guest has the maximum disk activity, etc. Note that the amount of resources taken up by a virtual guest will be limited by the resource allocations that have been made by administrators. For example, an administrator could cap the amount of memory that a specific guest may take.

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Network_bytes_recvd Indicates the rate at which data was received by the guest through all its virtual network adapters KB/Sec Comparing the rate of data received across all the virtual guests provides an indicator of the guest that has the most in-bound network traffic.
Network_bytes_sent Indicates the rate at which the guest transmitted data KB/Sec Comparing the data transmitted across all the virtual guests provides an indicator of the guest that is generating most out-bound network traffic.
Disk_bytes_read Indicates the rate at which data was read from the disk by all IDE and SCSI controllers. KB/Sec  
Disk_bytes_written Indicates the rate at which data was written to the disk by all IDE and SCSI controllers. KB/Sec  
CPU_utilization Indicates the percentage of physical CPU used by the guest, currently. Percent A high value for this measure indicates a virtual machine that is using a lot of the processor - possibly because one or more processes on this VM are taking a lot of CPU.
Powered_on Indicates whether the guest is powered on or not. Number A value of 1 indicates that the guest is powered on and a value of 0 indicates otherwise.
