Infrastructure Configuration Data
This data describes either the virtual data centre or the cloud environment under observation by CloudPhysics. This data defines the environment to be monitored including the vCenter and its configurations as well as the resources consumed by the systems and resources under management by vCenter.
This data does not include network topology or data to recreate the network architecture. For VMware vCenter v4.0 and above, this data will consist of vCenter details, data centre details, VM details, host details, virtual domain details, data-store details, network port details, virtual network details, and resource group details.
Performance Data
This data will consist of CPU, Storage, Network, and RAM usage details. Utilisation, peak performance, bandwidth, and characteristics of these will all make up the performance data. CloudPhysics will also generate derivatives of this data for averages, means, 99th Percentile, and 95th Percentiles.
Event and Task Data
Event and Task data provides a view of major events and scheduled services in the environment such as resources starting and stopping, vMotions, and environmental changes. These events and tasks often include the event, a brief description, and the associated service or username that initiated the event.
