VMware vSphere Datastore Monitoring

Starter

Professional

Bleemeo monitors vSphere datastores for storage capacity, usage, and aggregated disk I/O across all hosts accessing the datastore. Datastores are automatically discovered from vCenter.

Metrics

Metric	Description
disk_used	Amount of storage space used on the datastore
disk_total	Total storage capacity of the datastore
io_read_bytes	Aggregated rate of data read from the datastore across all hosts
io_write_bytes	Aggregated rate of data written to the datastore across all hosts

Note

Capacity metrics (disk_used, disk_total) are collected from 30-minute historical intervals, so they may take up to 30 minutes to appear after initial setup.

Labels

Each datastore metric includes the following labels:

Label	Description	Example
dcname	Datacenter name	DC-Paris
clustername	Cluster name	Production-Cluster
item	Datastore name	datastore1
