SENSOR.POWER.Collect.actualValue.Watts

Veeam.Virt.Extensions.VMware.VMSENSOR.POWER.Collect.actualValue.Watts (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This rule will dynamically collect metrics from POWER sensors where the metric is delivered as Watts.

Available units are:

For VMSENSOR.POWER class:

For VMSENSOR.TEMPERATURE class:

Note that the available units does not always intuitively follow the class name. For example even though the sensor class may be VOLTAGE, it can in certain hardware configurations provide metrics as Watts or Amps, depending on the exact sensor type. This is an idiosyncracy of the SMASH sensors as implemented by the hardware vendor.

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.
