SolarWinds Virtualization Manager 6.1 Beta

Virtualization Manager 6.0 introduced integration with NPM and SAM, exposing VMan data in native Orion resources, allowing you to navigate from Application to VM to Host to Datastore/Cluster Shared Volume without leaving the Orion interface.  However, the integration did not allow you to leverage all of Orion goodness on the virtualization data – but the team has been hard at work to make that a reality. To try it out, please fill out this short survey, Enough of introductory chit-chat, lets get down to the fun stuff – features!!!

• Baseline Thresholds for Virtual Machines
• Synchronization Wizard
• See All Your Virtual Machines (vNodes)
• More to come…

BASELINE THRESHOLDS FOR VIRTUAL MACHINES 

In the last release of Server & Application Monitor, we introduced baselines and we are happy to announce the feature has been expanded to Virtualization data as well.  When monitoring VMs (both Hyper-V and VMware), you’ll be able to leverage your historical data to automatically build your warning and critical threshholds (note that host baselines will be available in future betas).  Simply click edit node and scroll down to the Alerting Thresholds and choose Override Orion General Thresholds and click Use Dynamic Baseline Data and it will automatically set your thresholds based on the analysis of historical data. .
