Summary


In this chapter, we saw how to use performance-monitoring tools and how these tools can help us to troubleshoot some very common issues in a vSphere infrastructure. We also went through some of the very important vSphere host metrics and discovered how these metrics can be viewed in Performance Charts.

In the next chapter, we will dive into troubleshooting vSphere clusters. We will discuss how we can monitor the performance of these clusters. What are the common DRS-enabled storage problems and how to troubleshoot such problems? How to determine, and what should we do, if we have insufficient resources? We will also look into some of the vSphere fault-tolerance problems, and finally, take a look at how to configure SNMP traps for vSphere infrastructure monitoring.
