Virtual Machine Datastore metrics provide information about the performance of the link that connects the datastore to the VM.

Metric Name Metric API Name Decription
Committed Space datastore.committed.absolute.latest.bytes Storage space on the datastore that is commited for this link.
Read IOPS datastore.numberReadAveraged.rate.average.number Average number of read commands issued per second during the collection interval.
Read Latency (ms) datastore.totalReadLatency.absolute.average.millisecond Average latency of each read operation issued by the link through which the host is connected to the datastore.
Read Rate (Kbps) datastore.read.rate.average.kiloBytesPerSecond Average number of kilobytes read by the link through which the host is connected to the datastore.
RW IOPS datastore.numberRWAveraged.rate.average.number Average number of read and write commands issued per second during the collection interval.
RW Rate (Kbps) datastore.usage.rate.average.kiloBytesPerSecond The aggregated input rates and output rates of the link through which the host is connected to the datastore.
Write IOPS datastore.numberWriteAveraged.rate.average.number Average number of write commands issued per second during the collection interval.
Write Latency (ms) datastore.totalWriteLatency.absolute.average.millisecond

Average latency of each write operation issued by the link through which the host is connected to the datastore.

Write Rate (Kbps) datastore.write.rate.average.kiloBytesPerSecond Average number of kilobytes written by the link through which the host is connected to the datastore.
