The vSphere clients Performance tab displays performance information for individual virtual machines and for the whole ESXi server. vCenter further extends the capabilities of monitoring this performance on long term basis.
In addition to the above performance monitors for any virtual machines, for IP Office virtual machines a number of specific alarms are available that can be output to other applications. The alarms are warning alarms, critical alarms and OK alarms for when usage returns to below the alarm threshold.
