Using monitoring and performance tools with VMware There are many third-party VMware monitoring and performance tools on the market today and sorting through them is a heavy task. In this section you'll find tips from VMware administrators and virtualization-focused consultants that explain how to use and install such tools, focusing on free tools such as Veeam Monitor free edition, Solarwinds VM Monitor, Trilead VM Explorer and TripWire ConfigCheck. VI3 and vSphere also come with various monitoring and performance tools, such as esxtop and the VMware Infrastructure Management Assistant (VIMA). You'll also find articles on the additional tools that VMware will release in 2009, which include vCenter CapacityIQ, a performance monitoring tool that also forecasts future utilization; vCenter AppSeed, which monitors application performance so administrators can determine why, when a host virtual machine's performance looks OK, end users might be complaining of poor application response; and vCenter Chargeback, which will monitor various hosts and guest OSes to determine which department the cost of running the machine should be allocated to.
