Abstract: Example methods and systems associated with dynamic configuration of a statistics endpoint in a virtualized computing environment have been disclosed. One example method includes in response to receiving a first request, by a host in the virtualized computing environment, accepting a configuration file specified in the first request; in response to receiving a second request, by the host, parsing a rule based on the configuration file and collecting statistics based on the rule; processing, by the host, the statistics collected based on the rule; and sending, by the host, the processed statistics to a monitoring terminal.

Abstract: An example method for diagnosing an input/output (I/O) issue associated with an object owned by the first host in a vSAN cluster is disclosed. The method includes identifying a first component and a second component of the object. In response to the first component being locally stored on the first host, the methods include collecting a first set of I/O aggregated statistic information. In response to the second component being remotely stored on the second host, the methods include issuing a command to the second host, obtaining a second set of I/O aggregated statistic information from the second host and network metrics associated with the first host and the second host. The methods include diagnosing the I/O issue associated with the object based on the first and second sets of I/O aggregated statistic information and the network metrics.
