Heroix Longitude® Agentless VMware Monitoring

The Longitude VMware solution proactively monitors key VMware performance metrics to ensure that your environment is running optimally, and alerts you when there is a problem. Longitude also consolidates VMware alarms and generates reports of physical and virtual resource utilization.

Heroix VMware monitoring solution monitors key performance indicators in virtualized environments and alerts you to potential issues with guests or hosts. These built-in monitors help form the foundation of Longitude Cloud Edition, which integrates key performance metrics with end user experience monitoring and service level agreement monitoring to provide a single pane of glass through which to assess and assure service levels in cloud and virtualized environments.


Key Features Longitude VMware Monitoring

Longitude's VMware monitoring solution monitors the key performance indicators that matter in virtualized environments and alerts you to potential issues with guests or hosts. Automatically collects key physical and virtual performance metrics for VMware guests, hosts, resource pools, clusters, datastores, and datacenters.

  • Consolidates alarms generated by VMware itself for unified alerting and reporting.
  • Alerts you to potential performance or availability problems with guests, hosts, or any VMware-related entities, and optionally takes corrective action.
  • Generates comprehensive reports to show physical utilization and virtual utilization.
  • Correlates VMware indicators and infrastructure issues with end user response metrics for the most accurate assessment of application performance.

Why Virtualization Changes the Monitoring Paradigm

Virtualization has necessitated a new approach to monitoring application performance. Why? In a  virtualized environment, there is no longer a one-to-one correspondence between an operating system instance and a physical server. A single server (host) could host several operating system instances (guests or VMs), each running its own OS and application workload; furthermore, guests may be migrated automatically among hosts in order to maintain optimal load balancing among the available resources. Additionally, resources are grouped in datastores, clusters, resource pools and data centers, and dynamically allocated according to workload. Therefore, monitoring software must look at virtual resource utilization and user response, as  well as physical resource utilization, in order to gauge application performance.
