\u2026 is the sheer amount of information that it provides.  I previously talked about the monitoring.  That\u2019s great for the reactive side of things.  When I managed infrastructures, I like to take some some to see who things were trending so I could plan.  That\u2019s where reports come in handy, and there\u2019s no shortage of those in this management pack:<\/p>\n

On my client\u2019s site, we had an alert about latency on a HBA in one of the hosts.  I wanted to give the client some useful information to plan VM placement using affinity rules to avoid this from happening again.  One of the cool reports allows you to create a top-bottom chart of VMs based on a specific performance metric.  The below report was created with with the VMGUEST IOPS metric and shows the top 25 disk activity VMs.<\/p>\n

As usual with OpsMgr, the report could be scheduled for a time period, and\/or saved as a web archive, PDF, word file, etc.  I like this management pack.  Sure, it is pricey (I was told over EUR400\/host socket being monitored), but it\u2019s good<\/em>.  BTW, Veeam did release<\/a> a 10 socket (enough for 5 hosts with 2 CPUs each) management pack for free,<\/em> which is available to you under two conditions:<\/em><\/p>\n
