vmware collector

The vmware collector exposes metrics about a VMware guest VM

Metric name prefix	vmware
Source	Performance counters
Enabled by default?	No

Flags

None

Metrics

Name	Description	Type	Labels
windows_vmware_mem_active_bytes	The estimated amount of memory the virtual machine is actively using.	gauge	None
windows_vmware_mem_ballooned_bytes	The amount of memory that has been reclaimed from this virtual machine via the VMware Memory Balloon mechanism.	gauge	None
windows_vmware_mem_limit_bytes	The maximum amount of memory that is allowed to the virtual machine. Assigning a Memory Limit ensures that this virtual machine never consumes more than a certain amount of the allowed memory. By limiting the amount of memory consumed, a portion of this shared resource is allowed to other virtual machines.	gauge	None
windows_vmware_mem_mapped_bytes	The mapped memory size of this virtual machine. This is the current total amount of guest memory that is backed by physical memory. Note that this number may include pages of memory shared between multiple virtual machines and thus may be an overestimate of the amount of physical host memory consumed by this virtual machine.	gauge	None
windows_vmware_mem_overhead_bytes	The amount of overhead memory associated with this virtual machine consumed on the host system.	gauge	None
windows_vmware_mem_reservation_bytes	The minimum amount of memory that is guaranteed to the virtual machine. Assigning a Memory Reservation ensures that even as other virtual machines on the same host consume memory, there is still a certain minimum amount for this virtual machine.	gauge	None
windows_vmware_mem_shared_bytes	The amount of physical memory associated with this virtual machine that is copy-on-write (COW) shared on the host.	gauge	None
windows_vmware_mem_shared_saved_bytes	The estimated amount of physical memory on the host saved from copy-on-write (COW) shared guest physical memory.	gauge	None
windows_vmware_mem_shares	The number of memory shares allocated to the virtual machine.	gauge	None
windows_vmware_mem_swapped_bytes	The amount of memory associated with this virtual machine that has been swapped by ESX.	gauge	None
windows_vmware_mem_target_size_bytes	Memory Target Size	gauge	None
windows_vmware_mem_used_bytes	The estimated amount of physical host memory currently consumed for this virtual machine’s physical memory.	gauge	None
windows_vmware_cpu_limit_mhz	The maximum processing power in MHz allowed to the virtual machine. Assigning a CPU Limit ensures that this virtual machine never consumes more than a certain amount of the available processor power. By limiting the amount of processing power consumed, a portion of the processing power becomes available to other virtual machines.	gauge	None
windows_vmware_cpu_reservation_mhz	The minimum processing power in MHz available to the virtual machine. Assigning a CPU Reservation ensures that even as other virtual machines on the same host consume shared processing power, there is still a certain minimum amount for this virtual machine.	gauge	None
windows_vmware_cpu_shares	The number of CPU shares allocated to the virtual machine.	gauge	None
windows_vmware_cpu_stolen_seconds_total	The time that the VM was runnable but not scheduled to run	counter	None
windows_vmware_cpu_time_seconds_total	Current load of the VM’s virtual processor	counter	None
windows_vmware_cpu_effective_vm_speed_mhz	The effective speed of the VM’s virtual CPU	gauge	None
windows_vmware_host_processor_speed_mhz	Host Processor speed	gauge	None
