Virtualization Monitoring Tool
Get comprehensive virtualization monitoring at your fingertips
Use an elite virtualization monitoring tool to keep your VMware or SQL Server environments healthy
Virtualization can help optimize IT resources, but it poses challenges as well.
To keep their systems healthy, admins need centralized virtualization
monitoring. SolarWinds® Virtualization Manager (VMAN) includes a
vSAN resource utilization tool offering critical visibility into your network and its performance. See
which clusters are unhealthy and dig deeper into relevant metrics using the
PerfStack™ dashboard or use the vSAN used capacity breakdown to
see if there’s an issue with your system overhead.
Take control of all aspects of virtualization monitoring
IT administrators need virtualization monitoring software to keep up with numerous and complex virtual machines. SolarWinds designed VMAN to be a comprehensive virtualization monitoring tool, well-equipped to monitor on-premises, hybrid, and cloud systems with ease. VMAN is built to help you resolve issues with overall virtualization performance, hosts, datastores, VMs, containers, vSANS, and clusters with a single click.
Unlock more precise troubleshooting to optimize virtualization performance monitoring
Isolating virtualization performance issues in a diverse virtual environment can
be hard. VMAN includes a
sprawl dashboard
designed with virtualization monitoring tools to highlight idle VMs and offer
recommendations. Use VMAN’s server virtualization monitoring features to
track the relationships between servers and objects. VMAN can also help ensure
you track the right virtualization monitoring metrics, including memory
ballooning, memory swapping, latency, and storage performance.
Drill down on the most important virtualization monitoring metrics
Savvy IT administrators know the key to fast,
effective VM troubleshooting is tracking the right metrics. VMAN’s virtualization monitoring
software features an intuitive PerfStack dashboard, so you can mix and match
different metrics from your system and other sources to create a virtualization
monitoring experience and prioritize what you need. You can also monitor Azure
and AWS metrics from the same dashboard—no more toggling between different
virtualization monitoring tools.
Master capacity planning as well as server virtualization monitoring
Since multiple VMs can share the resources of a single host, it’s
important to ensure the hardware is effectively managed. VMAN’s built-in
capacity planning tool allows you to predict the future needs of your
environment as well as get alerts when resources are low and outages high.
Modeling scenarios can also let you see how additional VMs will affect your
workload. With integrated
custom VM placement recommendations, VMAN can also help you automatically redistribute resources across your
devices according to usage, facilitating optimal placement.

Do you find yourself asking…
Virtualization performance monitoring is the process of ensuring virtual environments and their infrastructures are performing at the highest capacity and using resources effectively. When done routinely, following virtualization monitoring best practices can help eliminate or prevent bottlenecks, mitigate security risks, and keep a virtual environment running smoothly.
Virtualization monitoring can also be thought of as a three-pronged approach to ensuring the health of your VMware® vSphere, Nutanix® AHV or Microsoft® Hyper-V environment.
- The first prong is monitoring. This encompasses everything from basic health status to isolating problematic signals.
- The second prong, troubleshooting, begins when something on your network—VM, device, application—isn’t performing as expected, meaning it’s time to start the remediation process.
- Finally, reporting helps build a repertoire of specialized knowledge you can use to expedite decision making. Reporting also facilitates compliance with critical standards and regulations.
You may also hear about specific types of virtualization monitoring. For instance, SQL Server virtualization monitoring refers to a subset of virtualization monitoring specific to Windows SQL Server 2012 and later versions.
