Quick-View

The Quick-View displays summary information about the objects you select from the Virtual Environment Overview, which is also available on the Virtual Environment Summary dashboard.

Figure 108. Quick-View

The Quick-View is made up of two embedded views—the Object Tree view and the Object Summary view. Depending on what is selected in the Object Tree view, the Object Summary view, located at the right of the Quick-View, displays summary information for either a single object or for a group of objects of a particular type.

The Quick-View appears in the middle of the display area.

Resource Pool Summary view

The Resource Pool Summary view shows the overall resource utilization and the amounts of system resource consumption for a physical resource pool.

1
On the VMware Environment dashboard, on the Monitoring tab, in the Virtual Environment Overview, select the Resource Pools tile.
2
In the Quick-View, select a resource pool node in the Resource Pools view.
The Resource Pool Summary view appears on the right.

This view is made up of the following embedded views:

CPU Utilization, % Ready. The percentage of the resource pool’s CPU resources that is ready to execute system code and user programs during the selected time period.
CPU Utilization, % Used. The percentage of the CPU utilization used by the resource pool to execute system code and user programs, during the selected time period.
Disk I/O. The current disk I/O rate for the selected resource pool.
Disk Utilization, Read Rate. The rate at which the resource pool reads data from the disk during the selected time period.
Disk Utilization, Write Rate. The rate at which the resource pool writes data to the disk during the selected time period.
Memory Usage. The current percentage of the average memory usage by the selected resource pool, based on the total memory capacity.
Memory Utilization, Active. The amount of the available memory used by the selected resource pool during the selected time period.
Memory Utilization, Ballooned. The amount of physical memory that is actively being used by the VMware Memory Control Driver to allow the guest OS to selectively swap memory.
Memory Utilization, Shared. The amount of the virtual machine memory that is freed up due to transparent page sharing.
Memory Utilization, Swapped. The amount of memory that is stored in disk swap space
Network I/O. The current rate at which the selected resource pool transfers data from and to the network.
Network Utilization, Receive Rate. The rate at which the selected resource pool receives data from the network during the selected time period.
Network Utilization, Send Rate. The rate at which the selected resource pool sends data to the network during the selected time period.
