Monitor vSphere with Datadog

VMware vSphere is a server virtualization platform that enables organizations to manage and scale virtual machines effectively. Datadog's enhanced vSphere integration allows users to monitor real-time metrics and events from various components, including clusters, datastores, and datacenters. The out-of-the-box dashboard provides key resource and performance metrics for ESXi hosts, VMs, and datastores. Users can also customize the dashboard to include metrics from other supported technologies running on vSphere. Datadog's integration supports both real-time and historical vSphere performance metrics, allowing users to track memory ballooning, monitor datastore disk usage, and optimize CPU utilization across clusters. Additionally, fine-tuning metric collection helps reduce load on the vCenter Server while still providing visibility into essential data.
