DPA VM Option - what does it monitor?

Our DBA team uses both DPA and SQL Sentry to monitor all things database.  We had an issue kind of creep up that we noticed in DPA and I was asked the question "What does DPA use for metrics in VMWare?"  What does Disk Red mean?

I was trying to find the answer on Solarwinds site but got stuck in the Buy Me Now loop.  Is there a document or information on what Disk red means in DPA? We also run the VM Option in DPA and I was wondering what that uses/looks at in VMWare. 

I usually just update DPA and let the DBA team roll with the software.

Thanks!
Dave

  • Hi, I think this is what you are after:

    If you go to one instance, then "resources" up on the right. There you have a page with a lot if different resources. In each there is a cogwheel to the right of each graph. Click there and you can see and adjust the thresholds for each metric.
