System monitoring is the process of determining and finding problems in any of your servers, either physical or virtual.
VM Monitoring is a great assistant for virtual machine monitoring in clustered environments and helps to detect whether a virtual machine is running in a critical state. It will allow you to check the health of the VM service at the host level, identify issues using events and status messages. VM Monitoring also enables the host to start a task to solve the problem in a proactive way, with no user interaction.
