Hyper-V guest

Introduction

The Hyper-V guest probes uses WMI to to monitor Microsoft Windows Hyper-V guests.

Note

The Microsoft Hyper-V guest probes requires the Hyper-V probe to be installed first as these act as a "proxy" for the guest queries.

Features

• Guest status as provided by the Msvm_ComputerSystem class

Deployment

The HyperV- guest probe can easily be deployed using our appliance manager.

Probe configuration

Hypervisor

Address of the hypervisor you want to query, usually you would use the IP or FQDN of the Hyper-V host.

GUID

You can lookup the GUUID on the details page of the asset you want specified as Hyper-V host

Local conguration

As the Hyper-V guest connects to the Hyper-V host we urge you to use the same credentials for the Hyper-V guest queries. When Hyper-V is deployed in a windows domain you can set local configuration to wmi as this section is the default section for domain credentials.

See also our credentials documentation.

You can automate this step using our toolkit and the Hyper-V guests report.
