Hyper-V Monitoring.

[BoomAM]

Hi.
Can someone recommend me some good tools that'll clearly show me why a certain VM is slow at times?
I basically need to see if its getting starved of memory, CPU time, disk bandwidth, I/O, etc;
The built in windows resource monitor is pants, and all this faffing is a prime reason why I prefer vSphere! lol.

Preferably free too btw...

Thanks in advance all.

SCOM would require a complete server installation to do what i need it to do, not to mention a lot of time to configure, so its completely overkill for what i need.

And PRTG doesnt monitor VMs. Only hosts or VMs. Not VMs running on hosts.

Any other suggestions?

Can confirm it does, we have it monitoring several hyper-v's

Well unless your running a different version to what i am, im confident in saying it does. It does nack all. It can be setup to see specific VMs on a host, but as for seeing its Mb/sec read/write rate and queue lengths, next to useless, it only displays pages per second. Which is of no use.
