VMware CPU Usage in percentage

[Luis Pereira]

Hello, there!

I'm using VMware template to monitoring a VMware host.

The CPU usage item returns data in Hz.

Is there a way to monitoring CPU usage by percentage, instead Hz?

Thank you in advanced!

You can divide it by CPU freq (vmware.hv.hw.cpu.freq) multiplied by threads (vmware.hv.hw.cpu.threads).

Nah, just use vmware.hv.perfcounter[{$URL},{HOST.HOST},"cpu/usage[average]"] or vmware.hv.perfcounter[{$URL},{HOST.HOST},"cpu/utilization[average]"]

Hello!

Thank you.

I have had this idea.

It's working fine!

Good day everyone. Please tell me how to set one parameter in zabbix. There is a network node, you need to select the parameter when the node was last on the network and time was written. Who can tell which way is best done.

Hi,

Can anyone provide a way to monitor VMware memory usage in percentage?

Hello everyone,

To get VMware CPU usage as a percentage I created a new key on my template (Template VM VMware Hypervisor).
But after 1 min interval, I got an error with that "performance counter is not available"
In the below, I attached the images related to how I create a new item and what is the error I got.

Please give me feedback to solve this.

Thank you in advance!

Could you share a screenshot of how you configured that? Thank you!

last("vmware.hv.memory.used[{$URL},{$UUID}]")/last("vmware.hv.hw.memory[{$URL},{$UUID}]")*100

Nah, just use vmware.hv.perfcounter[{$URL},{HOST.HOST},"cpu/usage[average]"] or vmware.hv.perfcounter[{$URL},{HOST.HOST},"cpu/utilization[average]"]

Need help, getting the value greater than 100. I tried to change formula order but nothing seems to be working.

I put in a preprocessing step on that item :



Afterwards the graphs and triggers work as expected :

@vingertop thank you, it solved my problem

Can somebody add screenshot of item (CPU Usage in percentage) because even i add the key vmware.hv.perfcounter[{$URL},{HOST.HOST},"cpu/usage[average]"] there is no data...

[Jason Cage]

You could have a try key = vmware.hv.perfcounter[{$URL},{HOST.HOST},"cpu/utilization[average]"]

It works in my environment.

Create new item set “Name” to “CPU usage (%)”, “Key” to vmware.hv.perfcounter[{$URL},{HOST.HOST},”cpu/usage[average]”] , “Type of information” to “Numeric (float), and “Unit” to “%”.

Note that there is another option if you cannot get the data about CPU percentage using the key vmware.hv.perfcounter[{$URL},{HOST.HOST},”cpu/usage[average]”]. Create a new item, set type to "Calculated", "Key" can be anything, "Type of information" to "Numeric (float)", and "Unit" to "%". Then in "formula" section divide CPU Hz (vmware.hv.cpu.usage) by the CPU frequency (vmware.hv.hw.cpu.freq) and multiplied by the threads (vmware.hv.hw.cpu.threads)

You can c/p that formula and find more information in this tutorial:

You can run it as follows.

VMware: Memory usage (%)
vmware.hv.perfcounter[{$VMWARE.URL},{$VMWARE.HV.UUID},"mem/usage[average]"]


VMware: CPU usage (%)
vmware.hv.perfcounter[{$VMWARE.URL},{$VMWARE.HV.UUID},"cpu/utilization[average]"]

I tried zabbix 6.2.6 version. Working fine.
