Page 1 of 3 Trying to better understand your virtual machine's utilization? Well look no further. Virtual Center 2.5 update 4 (released on Feb 23, 2009) has a great new plug-in that summaries all your virtual machines metrics, from one convenient screen!
If you have used the performance charts in Virtual Center, then you know how difficult they can be to work with. Analyzing a virtual machines performance can be a tedious task, especially when trying to understand capacity and doing trend analysis. Until now, the performance charts were the only tools available to monitor system performance. You would have to navigate through several different charts to understand a virtual machine CPU, memory, I/O and network utilization – quite a lot of work to say the least. New in Virtual Center update 4, is a less well known performance "overview" plug-in that makes virtual machine analysis a breeze. Unfortunately the plug-in doesn't come built-in to Virtual Center. Not to worry though, in the following pages, we will walk you through the steps necessary to install the new performance charts and have you analyzing your virtual machines performance in minutes!
