Footnotes

¹ The VMware performance counter path has the group/counter[rollup] format where:

group - the performance counter group, for example cpu

counter - the performance counter name, for example usagemhz

rollup - the performance counter rollup type, for example average

So the above example would give the following counter path: cpu/usagemhz[average]

The performance counter group descriptions, counter names and rollup types can be found in VMware documentation .

² The value of these items is obtained from VMware performance counters and the VMwarePerfFrequency parameter is used to refresh their data in Zabbix VMware cache:

vmware.hv.datastore.read

vmware.hv.datastore.write

vmware.hv.network.in

vmware.hv.network.out

vmware.hv.perfcounter

vmware.vm.cpu.ready

vmware.vm.net.if.in

vmware.vm.net.if.out

vmware.vm.perfcounter

vmware.vm.vfs.dev.read

vmware.vm.vfs.dev.write
