Monitoring Physical Servers

You can monitor the operating systems and the Hyper-V application service running on physical servers to collect relevant metrics for a comprehensive view of your private, public, and legacy physical infrastructure.

When you monitor the operating systems that run on physical servers, do not modify Telegraf to remove the default operating system plugins available, except the Hyper-V application service monitoring. This leads to undesirable behavior.

Note: If unmanaged/physical operating system objects have the same name, you can differentiate them by their Identifier 2 which is the UUID value in the Telegraf configuration file.
