Free HyperV Performance Monitoring Tool

Free HyperV Performance Monitor - Features

ManageEngine HyperV Performance Monitor tool helps an administrator to monitor important attributes of a physical machine running in the Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 using WMI. This tool fetches important information like CPU usage, Memory usage, Disk details and Network parameters from the Windows 2008 R2 hardware.

ManageEngine HyperV Performance Monitoring Free tool helps an administrator to view the following HyperV Performance parameters.

1. CPU Utilization
2. Memory Utilization
3. Disk Read Rate / Disk Write Rate
4. Network Rx / Tx

CPU Utilization

CPU Utilization is the current percentage of the total clock cycles being consumed by the virtual system. If a processor of a single VM shows 100% utilization, and the machine has totally 2 physical processors, then we can expect the total CPU load percentage to be around 50%.

Memory Utilization

Memory Utilization is provided as a percentage of memory used to the total memory available in bytes.

Disk Read Rate

This parameter provides the number of bytes read from the disk between the previous refresh operation and the current refresh operation. This parameter will be shown in bytes/KB/MB/GB per second.

Disk Write Rate

This parameter provides the number of bytes written to the disk between the previous refresh operation and the current refresh operation. This parameter will be shown in bytes/KB/MB/GB per second.

Network Rx

Average rate at which data was received during the interval between the previous refresh cycle and the current refresh cycle. This represents the rate at which data is received across each physical NIC instance on the host. This parameter is shown in kbps ( Kilo bits per second).

Network Tx

Average rate at which data was transmitted during the interval. The rate at which data is transmitted across each physical NIC instance on the host. This parameter is shown in kbps ( Kilo bits per second).

List of attributes monitored in a Virtual Machine

The list of parameters monitored by this application for each VM powered on is almost the same as that of the Physical machine.

1. CPU Utilization
2. Memory Utilization
3. Network Rx / Tx

CPU Utilization

This is the host's view of the CPU usage and not the guest operating system's view. It is the average CPU utilization over all available virtual CPUs in the virtual machine. For example, if a virtual machine with one virtual CPU is running on a host that has 2 physical CPUs and the CPU Usage is in the VM is 80%, then only one of the physical CPU is getting the CPU cycles.

Memory Utilization

Percentage of memory currently in use for the VM. This active memory given as a percentage of the total memory.

Network Rx

Average rate at which data was received during the interval between the earlier refresh cycle and the current refresh cycle. This parameter is shown in kbps ( Kilo bits per second).

Network Tx

Average rate at which data was transmitted during the interval. This represents the bandwidth of the network.

This provides the rate at which data is transmitted across each physical NIC between the earlier refresh cycle and the current refresh cycle. This parameter is shown in kbps ( Kilo bits per second).
