VM Memory Status (PI_VMI)

Function

This record stores performance data on virtual memory being used by a virtual machine over a unit of time. This record is a multi-instance record.

In this record, you can collect performance data such as details about the memory being used by the virtual machine and memory allocation. You can also collect performance data on the swap that the virtual machine is using. The figure below shows an example of data that can be collected in this record.

Note:

Information cannot be collected if an attempt to connect to the monitored physical server fails.
