CPU Total/Free Virtual Machine with vSphere Module [Metricbeat 7.15.2]

Elastic Stack Beats
1

Hi, everyone

I have configured vSphere module in Metricbeat 7.15.2 in order to get metrics from my VMware hosts and VMs.

Metricbeat send all VM memory metrics, here you are:

vsphere.virtualmachine.memory.free.guest.bytes: 7.9GB
vsphere.virtualmachine.memory.total.guest.bytes: 8GB
vsphere.virtualmachine.memory.used.guest.bytes: 81MB
vsphere.virtualmachine.memory.used.host.bytes: 1.6GB

However, regarding VM cpu metrics, Metricbeat not send all, here you are:

vsphere.virtualmachine.cpu.used.mhz: 540

Is it possible to get more cpu VM metrics with vSphere Module ?

Thanks in advance :smiley: ,

Regards

It all depends on what the VSphere GoLang sdk can pull.

Here is the list of stats that can be exposed via the SDK, some of which are already captured.

Hi,

Thank you :slight_smile:

Did u have items on that list u think should be added to the documents? I can make a PR to add them?

Hi,

I have found out that vsphere.virtualmachine.cpu.total.mhz and vsphere.virtualmachine.cpu.free.mhz appears when it is set cpuReservation in the virtual machine.
