Monitor CPU and Memory using Virtualization Monitor

I intend to monitor data such as CPU and Memory of VMware hosts without having any VMware agents installed, only using Virtualization Monitor.

This is because VMware allows me to see readings of these values.

Is this possible, or am I mistaken?

Yes – it is absolutely possible, and this is exactly how SolarWinds Virtualization Monitor

Agentless VMware CPU & Memory Monitoring in SolarWinds

What you want to do

Monitor CPU and Memory of VMware ESXi hosts
No agents installed on ESXi or guest VMs
Use SolarWinds Virtualization Monitor / VMAN
Rely on VMware’s own metrics (same data you see in vCenter)

It turns out that I already have VMAN on HCO, and from what I can see, it does not provide me with information such as CPU and memory of machines where I do not have an agent, as shown in the figure below:

I would like to know if there is anything I need to enable for this feature to work?
