Connectivity and I/O Performance Monitoring

Foglight for Storage Management provides comprehensive topology views which detail all I/O paths and components on each I/O path from VMs down to their assigned physical storage devices. These views assist in determining where actual performance or connectivity problems are occurring during I/O requests, something which is not possible using traditional virtual infrastructure management tools. For more information, see Assessing Connectivity and I/O Performance.

Introducing the Storage Monitoring Architecture

Foglight for Storage Management provides complete monitoring of virtual storage environments, providing performance and capacity management metrics. It is designed for customers requiring storage monitoring functionality, but not full-fledged virtualization environment monitoring functionality.

Foglight for Storage Management monitors virtual environments, providing performance and capacity management metrics to assist you in:

Foglight for Storage Management gathers extensive performance metrics and presents that data in a graphical interface using architectural diagrams, graphs, alerts, and drill-down screens to quickly identify virtual and physical storage problems. It fully supports VMware (vCenter and vSphere) and Hyper-V environments, allowing you to browse through your virtual infrastructure to identify storage performance, capacity, or topology issues.
