Table 48. Hosts
Description

View shows a list of all ESX hosts associated with the selected component. For each host, it shows its name, the number of CPUs, the current percentages of CPU and memory use, disk throughput rate, rate at which disk commands are issued, and the rate at which data packets are sent to and received from the network.

NOTE: This view only appears when you are exploring virtual centers, Datacenters container, datacenters, ESX Host container, Resource Pools container, resource pools, or Virtual Machines container.
Data displayed
•
CPU #. The number of CPUs associated with the host.
 
•
CPU %. The current CPU utilization for the selected host.
 
•
Disk Commands Issued/Sec. The rate of disk commands issued for the selected host.
 
•
Disk Throughput. The disk throughput rate for the selected host.
 
•
Host. The host’s IP address.
 
•
Mem %. The current memory utilization for the selected host.
 
•
Net Mb/Sec. The current rate of network throughput for the selected host.
 
•
Network Packets Sent/Sec. The rate of network packets sent to the network.
 
•
Network Packets Received/Sec. The rate of network packets received from the network.
Where to go next
•
Drill down on the Disk Utilization graph. Displays the graph along with some additional information.

Table 49. Memory Utilization
Description

Shows the physical memory utilization summary for the selected component, broken into the amounts of memory that is swapped to disk, actively used, and allocated, all during a selected time period.

Data displayed
•
Active. The amount memory that is actively used.
 
•
Granted. The amount memory that is allocated to the selected component.
 
•
Swapped. The amount memory that is swapped to disk.
Where to go next
•
Drill down on the CPU Utilization graph. Displays the graph along with some additional information.

Network Utilization
Description

Shows the network utilization summary for the selected component, including the average rate of network throughput, and the amounts of data sent to and received from the network

Data displayed
•
Network Throughput. The average rate of network throughput.
 
•
Packets Received. The amount of data received from the network.
 
•
Packets Sent. The amount of data sent to the network.
Where to go next
•
Drill down on the Network Utilization graph. Displays the graph along with some additional information.

Processes tab

Purpose

This tab only appears when you are exploring individual Virtual Centers, ESX hosts, and virtual machines, and have Foglight for Guest Processes Investigation installed and active. It displays an organized view of process information gathered by Foglight for Guest Process Investigation from the virtual or physical machine configured to send process information. When you open this tab, the process information for the selected server or virtual machine appears, allowing you to view the current CPU, memory, and monitored process statistics.

Figure 180. Processes tab

How to Get Here
1
Open the VMware Explorer.
2
On the Virtual Infrastructure view, that appears on the navigation panel, select a Virtual Center, ESX host, or virtual machine instance.
3
In the VMware Explorer, open the Processes tab.
Description of Embedded Views

This tab is made up of several embedded views. For complete information about these views, see the Investigating Guest Processes User and Reference Guide.

Related Objects views

At least one Related Objects view is provided in the VMware Explorer dashboard.

Related Objects views are part of the VMware Explorer Primary view and are typically located at the bottom of the Primary view. More than one Related Objects view may appear at a time.

Purpose

Related Objects views provide summary information on either the parent or child objects or both (whichever is applicable) of the object being viewed in the dashboard.

Figure 181. Related Objects views

Related Objects views differ from each other and may not appear at all depending on the object or collection of objects selected from the Virtual Infrastructure view and on the navigation tab selected from the VMware Explorer Primary view heading.

Related Objects views for an individual object display tables that list either the parents or children or both (whichever is applicable) of the selected object, and provide pertinent summary details about each one. The Related Objects view for a collection of objects displays a table that lists all of the objects in the selected collection and provides pertinent summary details about each one. You can sort Related Objects view tables by a particular column by clicking the corresponding column heading. If you select an object from the table by clicking on one of the table rows, all of the views in the VMware Explorer dashboard get updated with information about that object.

Resource Pools Relationship Tree view

Purpose

The Resource Pools Relationship Tree view is provided in the VMware Explorer dashboard. If you select a Resource Pool container from the Topology view on the Virtual Infrastructure view and click the Summary navigation tab within the VMware Explorer Primary view, a Resource Pools Relationship Tree view is displayed in the Primary view. A Resource Pools Relationship Tree contains every resource pool that belongs to the clusters within the associated VirtualCenter.

For more information about the VMware Explorer dashboard, see Investigating performance metrics .

The Resource Pools Relationship Tree view is useful if you want to see how the resource pools within the clusters are laid out or if you want to take a look at the utilization statistics for each configured resource pool on the VirtualCenter.

Figure 182. Resource Pools Relationship Tree view

The default Resource Pools Relationship Tree simply displays the names of the various resource pools and their parent/child relationships.

You can use the Normal Zoom Level button on the mini map at the top right of the Relationship Tree to zoom into a more detailed version of the Tree. You can use the Minimized Zoom Level button on the mini map to zoom back out again.

You can browse through a Relationship Tree by clicking and dragging the rectangular shadow provided on the mini map.
