eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by VmhDiskSpaceTest

This test monitors the space usage of every disk partition (including VMFS partitions) on an ESX server host.

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Total_capacity Indicates the total capacity of a disk partition. MB  
Used_space Indicates the amount of space used in a disk partition. MB  
Free_space Indicates the current free space available for each disk partition of a host. MB  
Percent_usage Indicates the percentage of space usage on each disk partition of a host. Percent A value close to 100% can indicate a potential problem situation where applications executing on the host may not be able to write data to the disk partition(s) with very high usage.
Availability Indicates whether/not this VMFS disk partition/datastore is available Percent While the value 0 indicates that the datastore is not available, the value 100 indicates that the datastore is currently available. If a datastore becomes unavailable, then VMs that are currently using that datastore could be rendered inaccessible to users.
