# Eine Maschine bei auftretenden Verlangsamungen überprüfen (EN)

## Objective

Use the vSphere monitoring tools to troubleshoot a slow VM.

**This guide offers a step by step study case to troubleshoot performance issues on a VM.**

## Requirements

- Being an administrative contact of your [Hosted Private Cloud infrastructure](https://www.ovhcloud.com/de/enterprise/products/hosted-private-cloud/) to receive login credentials
- A user account with access to vSphere (created in the <ManagerLink to="/">OVHcloud Control Panel</ManagerLink>)

## Instructions

You have three levels of monitoring accessible in vSphere to troubleshoot issues:

- VM
- Cluster
- Storage

### VM Monitoring

In the vSphere interface menu, go to the `Hosts and Clusters
` dashboard.

Navigate to your VM and select it.

The `Monitor
` tab presents performance `Overview
`.

You may see real-time metrics or choose to check a timeframe to see performance evolution.

You may also change the view to dig on more specific subjects.

You may also use the `Utilization
` section to help your investigations.
### Cluster monitoring

In the vSphere interface menu, go to the `Hosts and Clusters
` dashboard.

Navigate to your Cluster and select it.

The `Monitor
` tab presents performance `Overview
`.

You may see real-time metrics or choose to check a timeframe to see performance evolution.

You may also change the view to dig on more specific subjects.

You may also use the `Resource Allocation
` and `Utilization
` sections to help your investigations.

Resource Pools can be accessed and monitored in the same way clusters are.

### Storage monitoring

In the vSphere interface menu, go to the `Storage
` dashboard.

Navigate to your datastore and select it.

The `Monitor
` tab presents performance `Overview
`.

You may see real-time metrics or choose to check a timeframe to see performance evolution.

You may also change the view to dig on more specific subjects.
