2V0-21.23 Question 435
Single answerA vSphere administrator is tasked with monitoring the health of a vSphere environment. They want to be alerted when a virtual machine's CPU usage exceeds a specific threshold. The administrator decides to use a predefined alarm in VMware vCenter to achieve this. Which predefined alarm should they use?
- A
Virtual Machine CPU usage
- B
Host CPU usage
- C
Datastore usage on disk
- D
Host memory usage
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The predefined alarm 'Virtual Machine CPU usage' in VMware vCenter is specifically designed to monitor CPU usage of individual virtual machines and trigger alerts when thresholds are breached. In this scenario, the administrator's goal is to monitor virtual machine CPU usage, making this the correct choice.
- A. Correct.
This is the correct predefined alarm to monitor and trigger alerts based on a virtual machine's CPU usage exceeding a predefined threshold.
- B. Incorrect.
This alarm monitors CPU usage at the host level, not for individual virtual machines, and is therefore not suitable for the administrator's requirements.
- C. Incorrect.
This alarm is used to monitor storage usage on a datastore rather than CPU usage, making it irrelevant in this scenario.
- D. Incorrect.
This alarm tracks memory usage on a host, not CPU usage on a virtual machine, and is incorrect for this use case.
