Foglight for VMware 5.8 - User and Reference Guide

Summary - Datastore view

The Summary - Datastore view shows the overall resource utilization and the amounts of system resource consumption for a physical datastore.

This view is made up of the following embedded views:

Table 119. Alarms

Description	Lists the alarms generated against the selected datastore.
Data displayed	• Alarm Message. An explanation about why the alarm occurred.
	• Severity. Indicates the alarm severity: Warning, Critical, or Fatal.
	• Time. The time when the alarm was generated.
Where to go next	Drill down on:
	• Alarm Message, Severity, or Time. Displays the Alarm dialog box, showing additional information about the alarm. For more information about alarms in Foglight, see the Foglight User Help.

Table 120. Related Items

Description	Shows the numbers and states of the selected datastore and other components associated with this datastore.
Data displayed	• Clusters. The number of clusters associated with the selected datastore, followed by the related alarm counts.
	• Datacenter. The name of the datacenter associated with the selected datastore, followed by the related alarm counts.
	• Datastore. The name of the selected datastore, followed by the related alarm counts.
	• ESX Hosts. The number of hosts associated with the selected datastore, followed by the related alarm counts.
	• Virtual Center. The name of the virtual center associated with the selected datastore, followed by the related alarm counts.
	• Virtual Machines. The number of virtual machines that are associated with the selected datastore, followed by the related alarm counts.
Where to go next	Drill down on:
	• Alarm count. Displays the Alarms dialog box that shows a list of all related alarms. For each alarm entry, it shows its severity, the time at which it was triggered, the rule name that triggered the alarm, and the alarm message.
	• Clusters. Displays the Clusters Inventory dwell, showing the names and states of the clusters associated with the selected datastore.
	• Datacenter. Displays the Datacenters Inventory dwell, showing the name and state of the datacenter associated with the selected datastore.
	• Datastore. Displays the Datastores Inventory dwell, showing the name and state of the selected datastore.
	• Virtual Center. Displays the Virtual Centers Inventory dwell, showing the name and state of the virtual center associated with the selected datastore.
	• Virtual Machines. Displays the Virtual Machines Inventory dwell, showing the names and states of all virtual machines that are associated with the selected datastore.

Table 121. Resource Utilizations

Description	Shows the resource consumption for the selected datastore broken down into four simple views.
Data displayed	• Capacity. The total space allocated to this datastore.
	• Datastore. The name of the selected datastore, followed by the related alarm counts.
	• Est. Time Until Full. The estimated amount of time until which this datastore will become full.
	• Free. The amount of free space for this datastore.
	• Max File Size. The maximum file size for this datastore.
	• Percent Free. The percent of free space for this datastore.
	• Type. The datastore type.
	• URL. The datastore URL.
	• Used. The amount of used space for this datastore.
	• Weekly Growth Rate. The average amount of space the datastore expands every week.
Where to go next	Drill down on:
	• Free or Percent Free. Displays the Storage Used dialog box.
	• Used. Displays the Logical Drive Utilization dialog box.

Summary - Datastore view

The Summary - Datastores view displays overall resource utilization information for a group of physical datastores and shows the elements that consume the highest amount of system resources.

This view is made up of the following embedded views:

Datastores view

This view is a tree view. It lists the datastores that exist in your environment and shows their state.

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

Datastore tab

The Datastore tab shows the overall resource utilization and the amounts of system resource consumption for a physical datastore, the related components, and their alarm state.

This view is made up of the following embedded views:

Table 128. Related Components Views

Description	Shows the numbers and states of the components associated with this datastore.
Data displayed	• Datacenter. The name of the datacenter associated with this datastore, followed by the related alarm counts.
	• Virtual Center. The name of the virtual center associated with this datastore, followed by the related alarm counts.
	• Virtual Machines. The number of virtual machines that are associated with the selected datastore, followed by the related alarm counts.
Where to go next	Drill down on:
	• Alarm count. Displays the Alarms dialog box that shows a list of all related alarms. For each alarm entry, it shows its severity, the time at which it was triggered, the rule name that triggered the alarm, and the alarm message.
	• Datacenter, Virtual Center, or a Virtual Machine. For more information, see Summary tab.

Table 129. Resource Utilizations

Description	Shows the resource consumption for the selected datastore broken down into four simple views.
Data displayed	• Capacity. The total space allocated to this datastore.
	• Datastore. The name of the selected datastore, followed by the related alarm counts.
