Free Capacity Monitoring Tool

[scotty_p]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a free tool to report on vCenter capacity. Is anyone aware of anything good that's out there? I just tested out vBenchmark, but that's not exactly what I'm looking for. Something that can show graphs for memory, CPU and storage on a per cluster basis would be nice.

Thanks,

Scott

Since there is not Free vCenter, i am thinking you have some kind of license. If you have a license you get foundation version of vCOPS. If thats what you looking for.

Try this tool. Its a tool to monitor VMs, networks, storage, apps, end-user devices in one pane of glass. Real-time continuous UI with ability to DVR record anything. Rich historical reporting on VM and application activity

It's Ok, but it only monitors a single host at a time.

As Mustafa has mentioned, try Veeam ONE Free Edition. No restrictions on the number of hosts that you can monitor and report on. 24x7 real time monitoring. You can learn more about the product at the previously stated link.
