Monitoring Host Health Status
You can use the vSphere Client to monitor the state of host hardware components, such as CPU processors,
memory, fans, and other components.
The host health monitoring tool allows you to monitor the health of a variety of host hardware components
including:
n
CPU processors
n
Memory
n
Fans
n
Temperature
n
Voltage
n

The host health monitoring tool presents data gathered using Systems Management Architecture for Server
Hardware (SMASH) profiles. The information displayed depends on the sensors available on your server
hardware.
You can monitor a host’s health status either by connecting the vSphere Client directly to a host, or by
connecting to a vCenter Server system. You can also set alarms to trigger when the host health status changes.
Monitor Health Status When Directly Connected to a Host
When you connect the vSphere Client directly to a host, you can view the health status from the host’s
Configuration tab.
When you are connected to a host through vCenter Server, you must use the Hardware Status tab to monitor
the host health.
Procedure
1 Log in to the host using the vSphere Client, and display the inventory.
2 Click the Configuration tab, and click Health Status.
