Selecting the All Clusters node displays overall resource utilization for all clusters in your integrated system and the elements that consume the highest amount of system resources in the Summary - All Clusters view on the right. Similarly, selecting a cluster node shows cluster-specific metrics in the Cluster Summary view on the right.

On the VMware Environment dashboard, on the Monitoring tab, in the Virtual Environment Overview, select the Clusters tile.
The Clusters view appears in the Quick-View on the left.
Alarm severity. The state of the most recent alarm raised against the associated cluster.
All Clusters. A parent node for the cluster object instances that appear in this view.
Cluster. The cluster name.
