Differences between Task Manager and Veeam

[felyjos]

Hello,

I noticed that the Memory is flat to the max in Task manager for several VMs.

in the VCenter or using VEEAM Reporter for the performances the Memroy is less than 50%

How could I explain this discrepancy?

Thanks,
DOm

Hi Dom,

Actually you cannot really compare Guest OS Task Manager vs. vCenter Server/Veeam ONE performance graphs. There are multiple existing blog posts and explanation of this behavior, here is one of them, please look it through: http://vpivot.com/2010/02/10/inaccuracy ... -counters/

Thanks!

Thanks I will read this as User are having the Guest OS Task Manager result and IT is watching Veeam so we never agree

The blog is inaccessible. Could you please share another link where the difference is explained properly.

Hello Victor,
You can find the link working here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160327035 ... -counters/
Veeam ONE doesn't do anything special other than collecting what VMware gives us.

Hopefully the explanation from the blog would make more sense to you.

Thank you
