Veeam.Virt.Extensions.VMware.VMHOST.Collect.memoryAvail (Rule)

Collect memoryAvail metric from VMHostStats

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This rule collects the performance metric VMHost-memory \ memoryAvailMB for VMware vSphere hosts.

Metric definition:

Total amount of memory (in MB) still available. This is the difference between the system's total memory and memory currently being consumed. Refer to VMware Resource Management Guide for more information on VMware's memory usage.

Disabling this rule will stop collection of the metric into Ops Mgr and it will not be visible in views and reports. However, any monitor based on the same metric will continue to function.

To see all metrics collected in this class check the Veeam MP for VMware Metric Dictionary.
