Issue/Introduction

This article explains vSAN Performance Graphs, available in vSAN (formerly known as Virtual SAN) 6.2 and later.
For Remote VM graphs in vSAN 7.0 U1 and later, see: vSAN Performance Graphs in the vSphere Web Client Part 2
For RDT network graphs in vSAN 8.0 U1 and later, see: vSAN Performance Graphs in the vSphere Web Client Part 3.

Environment

VMware vSAN

Resolution

To get vSAN performance graphs/charts, first you need to enable the vSAN performance service.

You can view performance changes from different levels of entities (clusters, hosts, disk groups, physical disks, virtual machines and virtual disks) and different standpoints (Virtual Machine consumption, vSAN backend).

There are multiple graphs you can monitor to understand vSAN performance. Here are the details of all available vSAN performance graphs.

Notes:
* denotes vSAN 6.6 and later only.
** denotes vSAN 7.0 and later only.
