Monitoring a vSAN cluster
In this section, we will discuss the monitoring of a VxRail vSAN cluster. This includes the monitoring of vSAN health, vSAN virtual objects, vSAN resyncing objects, vSAN capacity, and vSAN performance. Now we will discuss each one.
vSAN health
vSAN health checks can provide the overall status of a VxRail vSAN cluster; this includes the vSAN hardware compatibility, vSAN network configuration, vSAN build recommendation, vSAN performance, storage device health, VM objects, and so on. We can see the status of each component in a vSAN health check. It will display a warning or an error message if any issues exist on each component. In Figure 5.21, we can see the status of each component on the Health page in this VxRail vSAN cluster:
The vSAN Health page is used to display the status of all vSAN components and objects. Now we will discuss vSAN virtual objects in the next section.
