Is it possible to collect folder stats?

[cihantunali]

Hello!

Is it possible to collect "Folder" name and its infos? Here is an example screen shot;

I need to collect below items, is it possible? If yes, can you please guide me?

• Folder name
• Virtual machine count of Folder have
• Folder's CPU usage
• Folder's MEM usage
• Folder's Storage usage

Ill need to think on this one for a bit. I'm not sure I want this functionality built in. I feel it might be better to use tags or labels directly at the vm label to get this information.

Hi @pryorda, I can get informations for each server but It is too hard to label or group these informations. For example my naming conversation like : customername_customerservertype_servernumber_ , example : cisco_IIS_server023 . With this information i can get below infos from Vcenter folder windows as mentioned.

Folder name : cisco Virtual machine count of Folder have : 23 Folder's CPU usage : 320 Folder's MEM usage : 90657 Folder's Storage usage : 2984.44

From prometheus, I can collect cisco_IIS_server023's informations(CPU usage, MEM usage etc) But I could not label/group the to customer name.

Here is my example query : label_replace(vmware_vm_cpu_usagemhz_average, "servicegroup", "$1", "vm_name", "(.+)_.+")

I could not get first word before _ because it did not accept regex (correct one is [:<:] )

So with all these information, it is really hard to collect needed data. Is there any chance to improve exporter to get them?
