Hi, we implemented the dashboard. But the values on cluster level are different than in Vsphere. It shows 100% CPU in the dashboard, but in VMware the value is below 100%

In reply to JenAP-Gen.

Hello,
This specific article is for VMware Datastores, yes, whatever it is behind, like 3par, Netapp, etc, that does not matter, as VMware sees it.

It collects only only the local esx datastore. Shared like 3par datastores are reflected any idea on that?

Very nice post, thanks. Can you be more specific about the vCenter statistics config level for the 5 min interval duration please (staying at level 1 or level 2) ?

In reply to Alex. None really, MySQL will not be able to handle the billion of metrics you pull and save from vCenter, for that reason VMware just saves a short period of them before flush them.

Any way to get stats on to MySQL instead of InfluxDB?
