1.0 Introducing AppManager for Microsoft Hyper-V

AppManager for Microsoft Hyper-V lets you monitor the operation, performance, and availability of your servers running Hyper-V. This module provides a set of Knowledge Scripts designed to give you a comprehensive view of how computers running Microsoft Hyper-V perform in your environment.

You can use AppManager for Microsoft Hyper-V to monitor the following:

  • Health and availability of Hyper-V host computers, including the running status of Hyper-V core services and the number of virtual machines in critical state

  • Percentage of overall physical memory usage for the host

  • Overall system CPU usage by virtual machines (VMs), overall system CPU usage for the host, overall system CPU usage by the Microsoft Hypervisor, overall system CPU usage by the root partition, and ratio of virtual processors per logical processor

  • CPU and memory reservation for virtual machines on the Hyper-V host

  • Inventory information about virtual machines on the Hyper-V host computer

  • Logical disk statistics, such as disk free space, disk queue length, the percentage of disk space in use, drive latency, and byte transfer rate

  • Physical disk statistics, such as average queue length, disk latency, and disk byte transfer rate

  • Virtual machine disk statistics, such as disk free space and percentage of disk space used, average memory pressure, number of disk errors, CPU usage for guests, and disk reads and writes on the storage disks on virtual machines on the Hyper-V host computer

  • Network utilization, network queue length, and number of errors in outbound and inbound packets for network interface cards (NICs) present on the Hyper-V host computer

  • Switch transfer rates in MB per second and packets per second

  • Virtual network adapter transfer rates in MB per second and packets per second

  • Version status and the availability of Virtual Machine Integration Services components on virtual machines on the Hyper-V host computer

  • Hyper-V event logs, which you can scan for potential problems and other issues
