Veeam VMWare Management Pack & SquaredUp

Hi All,

I was just wondering if anyone has created any fancy dashboards for VMWare?

I have created some basic tiles which include:

  • vCenter, Hosts and Datastores status
  • Graphs showing top 5 used data stores. hosts with high memory usage, top VMs with high cpu
The last thing I want to put on my dashboard is to show information in relation to snapshots, E.g. count of snapshots, list servers with snapshots that are older than 7 days.

If anyone know of a way to configure this it would be highly appreciated.

If you have any other ideas of things to include on a VMWare dashboard it would be helpful too.

Thanks for your help!

I have included snapshot size and age via the scopes:

Group: VMware Virtual Machine Group
Class:
VMware Virtual Machine

And metrics:

VMGuest - snapshotsSizeMB

VMGuest - snapshotAgeHours

You can also use overrides on the veeam managementpack that looks for snapshots so you get an alert when the snapshot is over 7 days. And then filter and show alerts from that monitor.

As for count of snapshots I have no good idea for that. I guess you have to build your own monitor for that.

have you tried the Veeam community dashboard? https://community.squaredup.com/browse/download-info/vmware-veeam/.
Not sure whether it has what you want as I’m not running the Veeam MP but maybe worth you checking out if you haven’t already
