Hi,
We are using Hyper-V too. In addition to what Jason Passow already mentioned: - all things that can be changed while the VM is running o Yes or no connected to a virtual switch o Yes or no connected SCSI disk o Version of the Integration services in the VM, compared to the version of the Hyper-V host o With Intergration services are checked/unchecked (ex. Time Sync) o Existence of a snapshot (I doesn’t want that on my production servers, but sometimes it happens…) o Name of the hostserver - things that can’t be changed while the VM is running o number CPU’s o size of RAM o MAC address o automatic stop/start action o Etc… Kind regards, Pieter From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:salive@woodstone.nu] On Behalf Of Jason Passow Sent: donderdag 16 april 2015 16:20 To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: Re: [SA-list] Servers Alive and virtualization checks We use Hyper-V here. CPU Utilization, Memory usage, machine state (running, paused, stopped) would be the most useful checks. However hyper-v function alerts would be even more useful. Check the hyper-v State it is paused, then Start/resume virtual machine alert kicks off.

I think that we should have more specific virtulization based checks. Now the first thing that pops-up is, will it be VMWare or Hyper-V or both? Ofcourse both would be best, but I would like to know what you guys are using (and would like to monitor). Also tell me what you would like to monitor via Servers ALive on those platforms. dirk -- Dirk Bulinckx Servers Alive - http://www.woodstone.nu (http://www.woodstone.nu) DNS Hosting on StellarDNS - http://www.stellardns.com (http://www.stellardns.com) To unsubscribe send a message with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line to salive@woodstone.nu (mailto:salive@woodstone.nu) If you use auto-responders (like out-of-the-office messages), make sure that they are not sent to the list nor to individual members.
