CPU Ready report in milliseconds

Post by Benyon35 »

I would like to run a cpu READY report for my virtual machines over the past 24 hours.
How do I set this to report in milliseconds?

Hi Darren,

To generate a report for all VMs in your environment, you need to use Custom Performance report template -> choose VM object -> select CPU subsystem and pick a CPU Ready counter from a drop down list.

This report will show you Average, Minimum and Maximum values for CPU Ready measured in % (not milliseconds) for a defined period of time (select-able report parameter).

Hope this helps!

This vmtoday article has some nice charts to convert from % values to milliseconds etc.

Ah, thanks for the link.
So the "VM CPU ready" alarm in Veeam One doesn't take account of the number of vCPUs inside the VM - this explains the alarms I get from two 8 vCPU VMs.

Correct, we do not collect data for individual CPUs of the VM, instead we query vCenter Server for a total usage of VM CPU, CPU ready and other counters.

Yes, but an "over 25%" error is probably really an error for a 1 vCPU VM, but not for a 8 vCPU VM (which would be actual 3.125%).

Agree... so it's the question of a proper threshold for VMs with multiple CPUs.
