This attribute group contains information about memory usage for virtual machines.
The following comprises a list of the attributes for this attribute group. The name in bold text shows how the attribute appears in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
This attribute group is associated with the ESX subnode.
Node The managed system name of the agent.
Timestamp The value is the time collected from the agent system when the data row was built and sent from the agent to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (or stored for historical purposes). It represents the local time zone of the agent system.
VM Name The user-defined display name of this virtual machine.
VM Server Name The host name of the ESX server that runs this virtual machine.
Total Size Total amount of memory allocated to the virtual machine in MB.
Max Alloc Maximum amount of memory in MB that can be used by the virtual machine. The value is -1 if there is no limit.
Min Alloc Minimum amount of memory in MB guaranteed to be allocated to the virtual machine.
Host Usage The amount of host (server) memory in MB that is currently being used by the virtual machine.
Swap To File The total amount of virtual machine memory that has been swapped out to the swap file in KB.
Balloon Usage The amount of memory in KB being used by the VMware balloon driver.
Guest Usage The amount of memory being used by the guest operating system in MB. The value can be between 0 and the configured memory size of the virtual machine.
Host Util The percentage of memory (average) that was used by the virtual machine over the past sample interval. This value is calculated as the percentage of MemoryHostUsage over MemoryTotalSize.
Guest Util The percentage of memory (average) that was used by the guest running in this virtual machine over the past sample interval. This value is calculated as the percentage of MemoryGuestUsage over MemoryTotalSize.
VM HostName The host name of the virtual machine.
VM OS Type The guest family for the operating system.
Host Free The amount of virtual machine memory currently free in MB. This value is calculated as the difference between MemoryTotalSize and MemoryHostUsage.
Guest Free The amount of guest OS memory currently free in MB. This value is calculated as the difference between MemoryTotalSize and MemoryGuestUsage.
NodeID An attribute for IBM-internal use only.
Datacenter The name of the data center that contains this virtual machine.
Usage The amount of memory (in percentage) that is used from the total configured or available memory.
Active The amount of memory (in MB) that is actively used.
Shared The amount of memory (in MB) that is shared with other virtual machines.
Granted The amount of memory (in MB) that is mapped to the virtual machine.
