Challenges in Monitoring Virtual Infrastructures

VMWare MonitoringMulti-tier IT infrastructures are a pain to troubleshoot because of the dependencies that exist between application tiers. For example, a failure in the database tier can lead to a slow down in the application and web server tiers. So, if your monitoring solution views the infrastructure as independent silos, you can't effectively monitor and diagnose problems in a multi-tier infrastructure. Add virtualization to such infrastructures and suddenly your monitoring and management task has become infinitely more complex!

While knowing which VM is consuming excessive resources is helpful, it is even more important to understand whether the VM's behavior is normal. For instance, a memory leak in one of the applications executing inside a VM may be causing the VM's memory usage to increase over time. In such cases, it is essential that the monitoring solution be able to look in-depth into each guest VM and detect abnormalities.
