7 Chapter 1: General Overview The hyperv probe is used for monitoring the health and performance of the Microsoft Hyper-V servers. The probe collects the necessary data of the host operating system and its corresponding hypervisor system (Windows 2008/2012/2012 R2 Server + Hyper-V / Windows 2008 Server Core + Hyper-V). The probe defines the alarms and their corresponding threshold values for comparing the actual data at customizable intervals. If the threshold values are breached, the probe generates the alarm. The QoS messages are generated on each interval. The probe monitors the Windows virtual machines that are running on the host through the Host Operating System. Feature List The hyperv probe collects and stores data and information from the monitored system at customizable intervals. You can easily define alarms to be raised and propagated to the Nimsoft Enterprise Console when specified thresholds are breached. Chapter 1: General Overview 7

13 Chapter 4: Known Issues The known issues of the hyperv probe are: For non-english locale: The Raw Configure GUI of the probe is not supported for updating the probe configuration because it can corrupt the entire probe configuration file. The probe extracts data for the profile of events after running WMI query for events. Hence, the probe does not generate alarms for the Event Profile when there is a mismatch in the system generated time and value in the TimeGenerated field. For all locales: The probe does not display description for the events HHCTRL, AdobeARM, and VMUpgradeHelper. There is a null value in the event log for the specified events. The issue is generated in the probe due to the system. Chapter 4: Known Issues 13
