Monitor Microsoft Hyper-V Server


The 'MS Hyper-V check' checks whether the Hyper-V services are running and whether the Hyper-V processes are running (and not consuming too much CPU/memory). It also checks whether the relevant WMI counters have proper values.

The following services are monitored:

  • Hyper-V Networking Management Service
  • Hyper-V Image Management Service
  • Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management

The following processes are monitored:

  • None (processes run as services under the svchost.exe process)

The following WMI Counters are monitored:

  • Win32_PerfFormattedData_HvStats_HyperVHypervisor:TotalPages
  • Win32_PerfFormattedData_HvStats_HyperVHypervisor:VirtualProcessors

All of the above items can be enabled/disabled to meet your requirements.

How to change the check definition of new checks

To change the default behaviour of new MS Hyper-V checks, use your favorite text editor and make changes to the following file:
  ChkDefMsHyperV.ini
This file is located in the following directory:
  <installation-dir>\Sys\Roles\ directory
for instance:
  C:\Program Files\ActiveXperts\Network Monitor\Sys\Roles\

This ChkDefMsHyperV.ini file has the following format: 

[Microsoft Hyper-V Server]
Services     = Service-1<Service-1-displayname>, 
               ... ,
               Service-n<Service-n-Displayname>
               
Processes    = Process-1<max-cpu(pct):max-memory(mb)>, 
               ... ,
               Process-n<max-cpu(pct):max-memory(mb)>
               
PerfCounters = WmiDataClass-1:WmiData-Instance-1:Condition-1,
               ..., 
               WmiDataClass-n:WmiData-Instance-n:Condition-n
NOTE: Use a '!' sign before a service, process or performance counter to disable the check by default (but still visible so it can be selected).
