Dynatrace VMware monitoring Vcenter

Platform Open Q&A
1

Hello,

I integrated recently VMware Vcenters and ESX monitoring in my Dynatrace Managed platform.

I would like to know if Dynatrace can see this data also as i know they are available at the Vcenter level:

I can see CPU & Memory and Network data but i want to see other data also like Temperature, power…

as mentioned here in VMware documentation : https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.vsphere.monitoring.doc/GUID-DD2C78F2-9320-4D88-B7AC-81452F5D44C4.html

So do you know how can i make Dynatrace retrieve this data ?

Hi @Sohaib

These extra VMware metrics are not available in the DT out of the box.

You can ingest data int DT via API, in this case custome Active Gate extension would be required.

I hope it helps.

Best regards,

János

I guess this is the only option:
