Power Metrics for vSphere Pods
Power metrics provide information about the vSphere
pods power use.
Metric Name | Description |
|---|---|
Power|Total Energy Consumed in the collection period (Wh) | Displays the total electricity consumed based on the time
interval selected. The default collection cycle is set to 5 mins. You can continue
using the default setting or edit it for each adapter instance. For example, if the
time interval is set to its default value, the value represents the energy consumed
per 5 mins. |
Power|Current Power Consumption Rate (Watt) | The power consumption rate per second, averaged over the
reporting period. Key: power|power_average
|
Power|(DEP) Energy (Joule) | Total energy consumed in joules. Key: power|energy_summation |
