Foglight Resource Optimizer 5.7.7 - User Guide (for VMware Environments)

VM Resources

The VM Resources category includes all CPU, memory, and storage recommendations for optimizing a particular VM. You can review them all in one tab, instead of going through the CPU, Memory, and Storage tabs. This option allows you to coordinate the recommendations for that VM and reboot the machine once instead of three times.

For a list of requirements necessary for Foglight Resource Optimizer to successfully resize the CPU, memory, and storage on virtual machines, see Enable optional privileges for resource optimization.

The VM Resources view includes the following elements:
