RE: [SA-list] Servers Alive and virtualization checks
A little update on this What is already in the current beta (for v8) (can be found on http://beta.woodstone.nu) * ALERT: start/stop VM in Hyper-V * ALERT: start/stop VM in ESXi * CHECK: get parameter from Hyper-V What will be added (around virtualisation) * CHECK: get parameter from Hyper-V and check the actual value of the parameter (must be running or CPU must be below 50 for example) * CHECK: get parameter (and check value) in ESXi * ALERT/CHECK: where we're now talking about "standalone" ESXi, we will add Vcenter/vSphere ESXi too Testing is done towards Hyper-V on win2008 - win2012 - win2016 (tech previous or newer when available) VMWare: v5.x and v6.x As always do test the beta and give us feedback.

RE: [SA-list] Servers Alive and virtualization checks
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.
