Veeam.Virt.Extensions.VMware.vCenter.vpxd.memoryUsed (Rule)

Collect PrivateBytes usage for VPXD process

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This rule collects the performance metric Process \ Private Bytes for VMware vCenter Server.

Metric definition:

Current size, in bytes, of memory that is allocated to the vpxd process and that cannot be shared with other processes.

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 Metric Dictionary.
