This Datadog article details how to monitor your VMware vSphere environment—including hosts, VMs, and datastores—using Datadog's integration. It explains installing the Datadog Agent on vCenter Server or directly on hosts, then automatically collecting metrics like CPU usage, memory, and disk I/O for comprehensive visibility into your virtual infrastructure.
