Use the Settings menu to define the default optimization settings for your environment. The Settings Dialog box provides information about the following components:
The Configuration tab provides the recommended settings for CPU, memory, and storage optimization.
• |
Thresholds. Provides the values of a resource metric that define the Warning and Critical levels (for CPU, memory, and storage). |
• |
Recommendation Calculation area. Allows you to define the following parameters for optimizing the CPU, memory resources in your environment, Storage resources not supported at current version: |
• |

• |
Time period used for average calculation is [x] Days. Defines when a resource is considered a zombie VM, by looking at the period used for average calculations. |
• |
Average Resource Utilization-Deviation. Defines when a resource is considered a zombie VM, by looking at the CPU, memory, disk throughput, and network utilization values. |
