You can monitor an NSX Edge node's usage of resources such as CPU, memory, and storage.
- Alarms
- Edge node - Overall alarm count
- CPU - Alarms for Datapath CPU and Service CPUs
- Disk - Overall disk alarms and alarms for each partition
- Memory - Overall memory alarms and alarms for each memory pool
- CPU
- Datapath CPU - Number of datapath CPU cores and their usage details, which include the average usage of all cores and the highest usage among cores.
- Service CPU - Number of service CPU cores and their usage details, which include the average usage of all cores and highest usage among cores.
- Disk
- Total disk usage for all ext4 disk partitions and the list of RAM disk and disk partitions. Also the available free space of each partition.
- Memory
- Datapath Memory - Includes heap memory, memory pool, and resident memory.
- Memory Pools - List of all memory pools along with their description and usage values except for QAT memory pool (of Bare Metal Edge) whose usage is always around 100%. The memory pools are:
