VMware datastore usage

VMware datastore usage

Hi there,

We monitor our VMware hosts and alert on disk utilization. We use thin provisioned virtual servers. The issue is that Opmanager reports on disk provisioned space vs datastore size and not actual free space. e.g.

Datastore_1
Actual size = 1TB
Provisioned for VMs = 500GB
Actual used is 100GB

Vmware reports 500GB free and not 900GB free.

Can this be changed as although I would like to know about provisioned space, I am more concerned about actual space remaining.

Thanks
