Have you looked at performance counters in Center Server ?

Hi Andrew,
are you referring to this?

It seems I am only able to watch real-time data, if I try to see past data, I get message:
Statistics level 2 is required to collect this data.
thank you

Hi Andrew,
thank you very much. My understanding is that there is no way to enable such statistic data for one specific VM, correct?

I mean: in order to get IOPS for a specific VM (just one) I need to raise statistics level to "2" for entire cluster, right?
So I am going to collect data for every VM in my cluster.
I just wondering if this can cause disk issue on my storage (I manage > 100 VMs)

This is just stats collection in the Center Server database.
