Free XenServer Health Monitor Tool

FAQ

1. I have downloaded the tool, but it is not running. What should I do?

Please check Dot Net platform is installed in your system. Run the utility available in the bin directory, DotNetUtilities.exe , It will tell you the Dot Net version. If Dot Net platform is not available in the system, download the platform. Please see the software requirements page for downloading the platform.

2. I have started the tool, but it is always showing the Metrics as Empty(Zero). What should I do?

Note: From XenServer Version 5.5 and above, to get the performance metrics via this tool, you need to set the other-config:rrd_update_interval=<interval> parameter on the XenSever host to one of the following values, and restart the same.

The above mentioned configuration is mandatory as the way to access performance metrics on the XenServer has been changed from 5.5 onwards. Kindly refer chapter 5 of the XenServer Software Development kit, for more details regarding the above, in the link below,

3. Even after following the procedure in Q2, I am not able to get the values for VM's. What should I do?

XenServer Tools must be installed in all the VM's you are interested in monitoring, then only you will be able to get the metrics(otherwise XenServer won't collect the performance metrics) for the VMs.
