Veeam Monitor

Veeam Monitor

Veeam Monitor is a Windows-centric utility focused on three aspects of the virtual infrastructure:

? Monitoring

? Alerting

? Capacity planning

Veeam Monitor is at its best in environments that include a VirtualCenter server that centrally manages the VI3 deployment. Smaller environments that do not use VirtualCenter can still use Veeam Monitor but will not experience the full functionality of the tool.

The Veeam Monitor monitoring process details the performance statistics of resource pools, clusters, or individual hosts and virtual machines. Administrators can get a high-level overview of virtual infrastructure performance, or they can dive into details to discover system bottlenecks that are causing performance issues.

All the data gathered from Veeam Monitor is consolidated into a SQL Server database, making it available for some of the other features in Veeam Monitor: trending and capacity planning. All of the historical data saved in the SQL Server database can be used to identify trends in resource utilization and plan for future growth.

The data-collection process of Veeam Monitor includes an alerting component that allows administrators to stay on top of performance at all times. Veeam Monitor also integrates with leading monitoring tools like CA Unicenter, IBM Tivoli, and HP OpenView.

When deployed correctly, Veeam Monitor arms administrators with a powerful tool for being proactive about system performance and bottleneck identification.
