Measures reported by EsxGuestDvcStTest
For each VM configured on a vSphere host, this test reports the availability of VMware Tools on the VM, and also reports the count and status of hardware/peripheral devices (such as floppy drives, CD drives, virtual disks, CPUs etc.) allocated to the VM.

Description |
Measurement
Unit |
Interpretation |
| Tool_Status |
Indicates the current status of VMware Tools on this VM |
|
If VMware Tools is running on the VM, then this test will report the value Running. On the other hand, if VMware Tools has been installed, but is not running on the VM, this test will report Not Running as the status. If VMware Tools has been installed and is just being started, then the value reported by this measure will be Starting. If VMware Tools has not at all been installed on the VM, the measure will report the value Not Installed. If VMware Tools is installed and running, but its version is not current, then the measure will report the value Out of Date.
The numeric values that correspond to the states discussed above are listed in the table below:

Note:
By default, this measure reports only the States discussed in the table above. The graph of this measure however, represents the VMware Tools status using the numeric equivalents - 0 to 4.
