There has been a new product release at Vkernel called Performance Analyser 1.0.
The VKernel Performance Analyzer not only monitors, diagnoses but also resolves performance issues in virtual environments. Performance Analyzer works side by side with monitoring and alarming features present in vCenter.
The product is part of the vOperation Suite (formerly VKernel Capacity Management Suite)
A quick quote from Vkernel:
It uses real time analysis of system metrics and vCenter alerts to determine abnormal trends and root cause, impact, and resolution of immediate VM performance issues. Performance Analyzer is unique in its use of advanced analytics combined with an intuitive user interface to complement VMware vCenter's warning engine. By using this VM monitoring solution, virtualization administrators are able to quickly solve VM performance problems.
