Host Status (PI)

Function

This record stores performance data on a physical server over a unit of time. This record is a single-instance record.

In this record, you can collect performance data such as CPU usage and details about a physical server, and CPU usage details by VMM. The figure below shows an example of data that can be collected in this record.

Figure 5-6 Example of collected data

[Figure]

Notes:
  • Information cannot be collected if an attempt to connect to the monitored physical server fails.
  • When VMware information is collected, the timing for collecting the usage, VMM usage, and virtual machine usage differs in VMware, and as a result the following relationship may not hold true in some cases:
    Usage (Used) = VMM usage (VMM Used) + virtual machine usage (VM Used)

Default values and values that can be changed

#
The value used in [[Figure]hh:mm] varies depending on the time zone of the monitored host. For example, if the monitored virtual environment is operating according to JST, +09:00 is displayed. If the monitored virtual environment is operating according to UTC, Z is displayed.
