How to monitor a VMware vSphere Environment using Telegraf, InfluxDB and Grafana

Once you import the Grafana Dashboards on your Environment, it should look all like these:

VMware vSphere Overview Dashboard VMware vSphere Overview Dashboard

VMware vSphere Hosts Dashboard VMware vSphere Hosts Dashboard

VMware vSphere Datastores Dashboard VMware vSphere Datastores Dashboard

VMware vSphere VMs Dashboard VMware vSphere VMs Dashboard


Getting started

You can follow the steps on the next Blog Post in English - https://jorgedelacruz.uk/2018/10/01/looking-for-the-perfect-dashboard-influxdb-telegraf-and-grafana-part-xii-native-telegraf-plugin-for-vsphere/

But in case you want a quick bullet point list:

  • Make sure you have the most recent telegraf version, then read about the vSphere Plugin here - https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/plugins/inputs/vsphere/README.md
  • Edit the vSphere Plugin and add your vCenter IP or FQDN, user and credentials, and enable the sections you want to monitor or exclude from your vSphere.
  • Restart the Telegraf service
  • Download the VMware vSphere Grafana Dashboards JSON file and import them into your Grafana
  • Enjoy (:
