Measures reported by VCVMDistributTest

This test promptly alerts administrators to the addition, removal, and migration of VMs in vCenter. With the help of this test, administrators can determine the number of VMs that were recently added and/or removed from vCenter and the count of vMotions that recently occurred on vCenter. Moreover, using the detailed diagnosis of the test, administrators can also quickly figure out which VMs were newly added/removed/migrated. When a user complains of being unable to access a VM, administrators can use the detailed diagnosis information to determine the cause of this anomaly - was the VM removed from vCenter at around the time of the complaint? or was the VM being migrated to another vSphere/ESX server when the user complained?

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Added_vms	Indicates number of VMs that were added to the vCenter server during the last measurement period.	Number	To know which VMs were added recently, use the detailed diagnosis of this measure. The following information will be available as part of detailed diagnosis: The name of the VM that was added; The host to which the VM was added; The cluster to which the host belongs; The resource pool to which the VM belongs; The CPU, memory, and disk space configuration of the VM; The datastore assigned to the VM;
Removed_vms	Indicates the number of VMs that were removed from vCenter during the last measurement period.	Number	To know which VMs were deleted recently, use the detailed diagnosis of this measure. The following information will be available as part of detailed diagnosis: The name of the VM that was removed; The host from which the VM was removed; The cluster to which the host belongs; The resource pool from which the VM was removed; The CPU, memory, and disk space configuration of the removed VM; The datastore that was assigned to the VM;
Total_vmotions	Indicates the total number of migrations that occurred on vCenter during the last measurement period.	Number	Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to view the details of all migrations that occurred during the last measurement period. This information includes: The name of the VM that was migrated; The host from which the VM was migrated; The host to which the VM was migrated; The cluster from which the VM was migrated; The cluster to which the VM was migrated; The resource pool from which the VM was migrated; The resource pool to which the VM was migrated; The CPU, memory, and disk space configuration of the migrated VM; The datastore assigned to the VM;
