AppManager provides the following Knowledge Scripts for monitoring VMware vSphere, vCenter, VMware ESX or ESXi Server hosts, VMware datastores, and VMware virtual machines, also called guests. The scripts can also monitor vCenter alarms, events, and task failures.
From the Knowledge Script view of Control Center, you can access more information about any NetIQ-supported Knowledge Script by selecting it and clicking Help. In the Operator Console, click any Knowledge Script in the Knowledge Script pane and press F1.

Knowledge Script |
What It Does |
|---|---|
|
Monitors vCenter alert and warning alarms and raises AppManager events when those vCenter alarms get triggered, acknowledged, or cleared. |
|
|
Monitors the CPU usage of the cluster. |
|
|
Monitors memory usage, memory swap used, and memory balloon for a cluster. |
|
|
Monitors the configuration status of the cluster. |
|
|
Use this Knowledge Script to generate an inventory of all hosts and virtual machines for the selected vCenter as well as configuration details for each. |
|
|
Enables an SNMP firewall port for a given host. |
|
|
Monitors the usage and free space of datastores. |
|
|
Monitors vCenter error, warning, and informational events, and raises AppManager events when those vCenter events occur. |
|
|
Monitors changes in the connection status of hosts to vCenter. For example, this script monitors whether the host is visible to vCenter. |
|
|
Monitors the percentage of host CPU usage and CPU used. |
|
|
Monitors the usage and free space of each datastore connected to a host. |
|
|
Monitors disk reads/writes and total disk I/O for a host. |
|
|
Monitors the total latency of all disks connected to a host. |
|
|
Monitors memory usage, memory swap used, and memory balloon for a host. |
|
|
Monitors network data received/transmitted for a host. |
|
|
Monitors time elapsed since last system startup for a host. |
|
|
Monitors if hosts and virtual machines are added or removed from vCenter, tracks configuration changes to hosts and VMs in vCenter, and monitors hosts and VMs that migrate to different hosts or move to different datastores or resource pools. |
|
|
Monitors the CPU usage of the resource pool. |
|
|
Monitors memory usage and memory balloon for the resource pool. |
|
|
Monitors the overall status of the Resource pool. |
|
|
Monitors vCenter Server services. |
|
|
Raises AppManager events when monitored vCenter task failures occur. |
|
|
Monitors the CPU usage of the vCenter process and the CPU usage on the computer hosting vCenter. |
|
|
Monitors memory usage of the vCenter process and total memory usage on the computer hosting vCenter. |
|
|
Monitors virtual machines that are added, removed, renamed, moved, or migrated within vCenter. NetIQ Corporation recommends you use the Inventory Knowledge Script instead of this script for inventory monitoring. |
|
|
Monitors changes in the connection status of virtual machines to vCenter. |
|
|
Monitors CPU usage, CPU ready, CPU wait, and CPU used for a virtual machine. |
|
|
Monitors disk reads/writes for a virtual machine. |
|
|
Monitors logical disk usage for a virtual machine. |
|
|
Monitors over a dozen memory metrics for a virtual machine, including memory active, memory balloon, memory consumed, memory granted, memory overhead, and more. |
|
|
Monitors network transmits/receives for a virtual machine. |
|
|
Monitors the number of virtual machine operations that are occurring across clusters and datacenters. |
|
|
Monitors changes in the power status of virtual machines. |
|
|
Monitors the number and size of all virtual machine snapshots, as well as the age of virtual machine snapshots and reverted snapshots. |
|
|
Monitors the VMware Tools status of virtual machines. |
|
|
Monitors time elapsed since last system startup for a virtual machine. |
|
|
Performs essential monitoring of your vCenter environment. |
