vSAN environment monitoring is critical for a successful deployment. We have to follow the following monitoring practices:
- General monitoring practices
- vSAN Health Check plugin
- vSAN Observer
- VMware vRealize Operations Manager Monitoring
- Monitoring design
vSAN supports monitoring datastores through the VMware vSphere Web Client, the HTML 5 client, and the vSAN Management API. The vSphere Web Client monitors different objects, like clusters and datastores.
Without effective control over the infrastructure, a VM or ESXi host sprawl can quickly diminish the return of investment from virtualization. Areas for improvement include assessing workloads to determine performance metrics that can then be used to create VM-specific vSAN policies to better suit the workload. A stripe policy of two nodes for write-intensive workloads that are bigger than the cache disk size may lead to performance improvements. We can minimize the troubleshooting time that is...
