Enabling the Performance Service

The performance service is disabled by default upon the creation of the vSAN cluster. You can enable the performance service after you configure the vSAN cluster to monitor the performance of the cluster, the participating hosts, disks, and VMs.

In the vSphere Client, you can enable the performance service from Health and Performance settings on the cluster.

To enable the vSAN performance service using the vSphere Client, navigate to the vSAN cluster, click the Monitor tab, and then click vSAN. Click Performance and then click Enable.

Following is an example of how to enable the performance service by using the vSAN Management API:

print 'Enable perf service on this cluster'
# Apply the Performance Service to the VSAN config
vsanPerfSystem = vcMos['vsan-performance-manager']

# Apply the config update
task = vsanPerfSystem.CreateStatsObjectTask(cluster)
vsanapiutils.WaitForTasks([task], si)
