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.
- Cluster performance
- Host Performance
- vSAN Disk Group Performance
- vSAN iSCSI Target Performance *
- vSAN Physical Disks Performance
- Virtual Machine Performance
- Virtual Disk Performance
- IOInsight Performance ** (Note: These IOInsight graphs are available in vSAN 7.0 U1 and later)
