Best Tool or program to receive alerts for application issues on VMware Virtual Machines

vCenter Server is very good at issuing alerts for VMs, for CPU and Memory ?

the following also work well, if you want to know about Heavy Hitter VMs, e.g. using all your resources, which may go unnoticed and not give you an alert.

You could always look at Veeam one...

I posted about it this morning....

"Andy's VMware vSphere tip#13: vSphere PERFORMANCE - Don't forget vCenter Server can provide you many metrics to check your overall performance, CPU, Memory, Disk I/O and Networking statistics can be generated and reported on...

but there are a few additional Capacity Tools we use on a daily basis to manage many VMware vSphere clusters and datacentres, and these are also available as FREE trials, these tools not only show health, current performance, capacity but also can predict what resources you have left in your cluster, and what wasted resources can be reclaimed!

First I've got to mention VMware's own VMware™ vRealize Operations Manager® or what we call vROPs

https://www.vmware.com/uk/products/vrealize-operations.html

and

Sumerian Capacity Planner - https://capacity-planner.sumerian.com/register.aspx

Both available for FREE trials, if you get stuck with a performance issue, and need an additional help.

If you would like to discuss this post further please post a question to the VMware Topic area.

Thanks for your reply.  We do use VROPS too.  However, I was specifically looking for alerts for  Applications running in the Virtual Machine.  Could we set up alerts for applications.  I know when the VM's resources are heavily used (the CPU and Memory, etc) gets affected and we can get alerts for them.  But I need to set up specific alerts for specific applications running on  Windows and Linux VMs when they are heavily used.   (I  am not taking of DRS here). But needs to be notified for specific applications running on the  VM.

I guess I have to try that out. Thanks.
