Time plot chart for Datastore usage

Hello,

I would like to create a plot chart for datastore, i have this in my view :

Module Reporting Infra -dev sbe2
Name test
Component Time Plot Chart
Purpose(s)
Comments
Context Inputs
timeRange
Required Common:Time Range
VM
Required Monitoring:VMware Virtual Machine
Primary Input VM
Configuration
  • Metric Data - Single Parent
    • Single Metric Bindings
      • Single Metric Binding
        • Metric first item of Context /datastores/datastoreUsages/writeCommands returning "Localized Value"
        • Markers
        • Metric Style
        • Y Axis
Reference Id system:reporting20infra20-dev20sbe2.16
Last Modified Time Nov 29, 2012 4:03:46 PM CET

I get :

vfoglight.png

In the legend we get : vmname:datastorename

I would just get the value for my VM.

Do you know how i could do it ?

Thank you

When you ask "I would just get the value for my VM", what do you mean exactly?

It doesn't make sense that you would want the VM name to label each of these datastores in the legent, as it would be the same VM name for each datastore associated with this VM.

In the time plot i just want data for my vm not for all datastores vm.

I would like to create a read/write latency for my selected VM and not all vm on the same datastore.

The issue is that you have not arrived at the correct path to the data you need, because you are looking at one item of a list of datastoreUsages for each VM.

On the drag and drop selection, you are seeing only 1 item on the list, so it looks like a straight path to the data.

You could add an Additional Context to your chart:

vmDatastoreUsage     =     context VM  path storage/datastoreUsage           return first value

You would then chart the vmDatastoreUsage  path datastore/readLatency    (or datastore/writeLatency, or datastore/totalLatency)

OK. Each VM references a list of VMWare Datastores. Each VMWare Datastore references a list of VMWare Datastore Usages.

Have you seen any evidence that read/write latency is available for each VM?

I don't get value,
