Monitor VMware clusters to understand their Effective Storage capacity, Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) Configuration, DRS Faults, DRS Migrations, Total Storage Consumed, VM Operations, Memory Usage, and more in the user's environment. The VMware Cluster monitor is automatically added while adding vCenter monitor.
By monitoring a VMware cluster, you can:
Understand the CPU and memory usage across the entire cluster.
Displays the effective memory resources (MB) available to run VMs.This is the aggregated effective resource level in all VMware ESX/ESXi hosts to run the VMs.
Effective CPU
Displays the effective CPU resources (MHz) available to run VMs. This is the aggregated effective resource level in all VMware ESX/ESXi hosts to run the VMs.
Total Storage Consumed
Displays the aggregated storage space available under cluster.
Total Datastore Capacity vs Usage
Displays the comparison graph of total datastore capacity (MB) and the actual amount used (MB).
Cluster Details
Displays various information such as CPU Cores, CPU Threads, CPU Capacity (MHz), and Memory Capacity (GB).
DPM Configuration
Displays the configuration details of Distributed Power Management (DPM) feature, if enabled in the cluster.
DRS Configuration
Attribute
Description
High Availability Configuration
Displays the details on the configurations of high availability feature.
DRS Configuration
Configuration of DRS cluster.
DRS Faults
A collection of the DRS faults generated in the last DRS invocation.
DRS Recommendations
List of recommended actions for the cluster.
DRS Migrations
The set of migration decisions that have recently been performed.

Displays the the total CPU capacity of the cluster (MHz).
Effective CPU vs CPU Used
Displays the comparison graph of effective CPU (the aggregated effective resource level in all VMware ESX/ESXi hosts to run the VMs which is represented in MHz), and actual CPU used.
Effective CPU
Displays the effective CPU resources (MHz) available to run VMs. This is the aggregated effective resource level in all VMware ESX/ESXi hosts to run the VMs.
