Do you want your applications to perform at their best 24 x 7? Would you like to boost your organization’s productivity? Of course, everyone wants this, and here’s how: continuous monitoring of the application stack. Application stack?!! What’s that? Keep reading this article and I’ll walk you through the application…
In the previous two posts, we talked about high level performance information and then we dove into the details around storage performance from the array, pool, and LUN/Volume detail. Now let's talk about thresholds and alerting. This is where we start making Storage Resource Monitor adapt to your environment, while also…
Hi all, We're currently evaluating Solarwinds Virtualization Manager. Primary use case is performance monitoring of our on-premises VMware environment. We've noticed however that we cannot seem to select virtual disk counters like Read Rate (MBps) and Write Rate (MBps) for each individual vdisk (eg. iscsi 0:0, iscsi 1:0)…
Having a high-level view of storage performance is good for a quick overview or understanding of how things are operating. In order to take your monitoring to the next level, having access to details is critical. In my previous post, I reviewed storage dashboards and performance data points that SolarWinds Storage Resource…
Managing storage is a constant dance of making sure resources are available for the applications that need them, and making sure resources are constantly in use, because having wasted resources in addition to no resources can be problem. SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor helps make this dance a little less complicated.…
Hello Thwack! We are in the planning stages of running a test case of our production workload in our brand new NSX environment and want to compare metrics from that test in vSphere 6 to current performance markers within our older vSphere environment. I am trying to rationalize and obtain data from SRM/NPM/QOE/NTA to get…
In some cases, SRM does not show any performance/statistical data for any chart or table that is related to Dell Compellent storage array. One of the reason might be that the Dell Enterprise Manager v2015 and below does not provide that information into the SMI-S interface due to the machine is in Australian time zone. How…
Most organizations rely heavily on their data, and managing all that information can be challenging. Data storage comes with a range of complex considerations, including: * Rapid business growth creates an increase in stored data. * Stored data should be secure, but, at the same time, accessible to all users. This requires…
What makes an application perform optimally? I would say it is when there is collaborative performance from the server or the VM running the application, the network on which the application is used, and the storage. In this post, I provide information regarding storage and ways to configure it to avoid application…
