In Part 1 of this series, we discussed key VMware vSphere metrics you can monitor to help ensure the health and performance of your virtual environment. In this post, we’ll cover how you can access these key vSphere metrics using a few of VMware’s internal monitoring tools.

In Part 2 of this series, we looked at how to use vSphere’s built-in monitoring tools to get insight into core components of your vSphere environment, including virtual machines and their underlying hardware. Next, we’ll show you how to use Datadog to get complete end-to-end visibility into the physical and virtual layers of your vSphere environment.

VMware’s vSphere is a virtualization platform that allows users to provision and manage one or more virtual machines (VMs) on individual physical servers using the underlying resources.

Before I get started on how excited I am to see LogicMonitor launching a logging product, here’s a little background information. This blog is probably a blast from the past for many longtime LM employees and customers. I served at the company for over seven years, starting from back when it was just a few of us trying to see if a SaaS monitoring product would be accepted in the marketplace (while seemingly crazy to say now, SaaS was a tough sell back in 2011).
