VMware Explorer View

A set of tiles displayed along the top indicate the type of the selected object or objects, and the related alarm counts.
Additionally, a collection of navigation tabs appears in this view. These navigation tabs vary from object to object, but generally contain a tab to an object summary (typically the default view), a tab to an object performance overview, and one or more tabs to other relevant information.
The display area changes in appearance and content, depending on the selected object or group of objects. For example, if you select an object type container from the Topology view, the Summary tab displays a consumption graph and a table that are representative of the group of objects within that container.
Figure 23. VMware Explorer View: Clusters
However, if you select a Resource Pools container, a Resource Pools Relationship Tree is displayed on the Summary tab. This tree contains every resource pool that belongs to the clusters within the associated VirtualCenter. This is useful if you want to see how those resource pools are laid out, or if you want to take a look at the utilization statistics for each configured resource pool on the VirtualCenter.
Figure 24. VMware Explorer View: Resource pool
Selecting an individual resource pool displays summary and utilization information for that resource pool. This is typically the type of information you see on the Summary tab when you select any individual object from the Virtual Infrastructure view.
Figure 25. VMware Explorer View: Individual resource pool
Utilizations view
The Utilizations view, typically located across the center of the display area tab, provides numerical and graphical representations of utilization metrics associated with the selected object or group of objects. For example, selecting a single resource pool from the Virtual Infrastructure view and opening the Performance tab in the display area, displays four graphs in the Utilizations view, showing CPU, memory, disk, and network resource utilizations for the selected resource pool.
From there, clicking a graph or a spinner shows a larger view of the graph with descriptive text about each metric appearing in the graph.
Figure 26. Utilizations view: disk utilization
If you open the VMs tab for that same resource pool, the Utilizations view displays one graph illustrating the percent-used and percent-ready CPU utilization for the virtual machines of the resource pool.
Figure 27. Utilizations view: CPU utilization
If, however, you select a collection of ESX® Hosts from the Virtual Infrastructure view and you open the Summary tab, an informative graph appears in place of a Utilizations view. Selecting a collection of objects in the Virtual Infrastructure view always shows a composite view displaying information about all object instances contained in that collection.
Figure 28. Utilizations view: Combined CPU consumption
For reference information on this view, see Utilizations views .
Related Objects views
In addition to the Utilizations view, one or more Related Objects views may appear at the bottom of the display area. These views take the form of tables and list either the parent or child objects or both (whichever are applicable) of the object being viewed, and provide pertinent details about each one. Their appearance depends on the type and range of objects selected in the Virtual Infrastructure view.
For example, if you select a single cluster two Related Objects views appear: one displaying the ESX® hosts that belong to their cluster, and another listing the virtual machines running on those hosts. The views also display the performance metrics associated with each list item.
Figure 29. Related Objects views for a single cluster
However, when you select a cluster container, the Summary tab shows a Related Objects view that lists all of the clusters in that container and provides pertinent details about each one.

Alarms
The alarm summary in the top-right shows you the number of alarms at each severity level that are outstanding for the selected object. Clicking an alarm count lists the active alarms for the object.

Accessing VMware® actions and tasks

The action panel operates like a drawer. Its default position is closed. To open the action panel, click the arrow at the far right of the Foglight browser interface.
The action panel provides you with easy access to a number of useful actions and tasks. However, it only provides additional Foglight for VMware Horizon View related actions when you are viewing the VMware Explorer dashboard.
The following image shows an example of a typical VMware Explorer dashboard action panel.
Figure 31. VMware Explorer dashboard action panel
Foglight for VMware Horizon View actions available in the action panel vary depending on the object displayed in the VMware Explorer dashboard.
The following Foglight for VMware Horizon View actions are available from the VMware Explorer dashboard action panel:
•
Run Migration Modeler
•
View Virtual Infrastructure Alarms
•
View Object IDs
Run Migration Modeler
Under the Actions heading, the Run Migration Modeler link takes you to the VMware Modeler dashboard, which provides you with a mechanism for viewing the impact that migrating a virtual machine will have on a target ESX® Host.
For more information on the Migration Modeler, see the Managing Virtualized Environments User and Reference Guide.
View Virtual Infrastructure Alarms
Under the Actions heading, the View Virtual Infrastructure Alarms link takes you to the VMware Alarms dashboard. For reference information on this dashboard, see Alarms List view.
View Object IDs
Under the Actions heading, the View Object IDs link takes you to the Object IDs dialog box. The Object IDs dialog box lists all of the objects in the virtual infrastructure with their type and object ID. The object IDs are the true names of the objects. To produce component-specific thresholds, context is required in the form of the relevant object ID.
To narrow down the list of objects, type a relevant text string in the search field, and click Search. You can type things like a portion of the object type name (for example, server), a portion of the object name (for example, part of the IP address), or a portion of the object ID. To clear the Search box, click Clear.
For more advanced search options, click Advanced. To narrow down the list to objects of a particular type, type the object type name in the Type box. To find the object by name, type the object name in the Name box. To find the object by ID, type the object ID in the Object ID box.

Reference

This section contains reference information about views that are included with Foglight for VMware Horizon View. Read this section to find out details about these components: Views.

Views

Foglight ships with predefined views to help you monitor your application server environment. This section provides quick reference information about each view.
Foglight displays monitoring data in views that group, format, and display data. The main types are described below.
Dashboards are top-level views that do not receive data from other views. Dashboards usually contain a number of lower-level views. The dashboards supplied with Foglight, as well as those created by users, are available in the navigational panel.
Lower-level views in Foglight can be added to dashboards or can be accessed by drilling down from a dashboard. They receive and display data directly from the Management Server or from other views. Some views filter or select data that appears in other views in the same dashboard. Some are tree views with expandable nodes for selecting servers, applications, or data.
Foglight for VMware Horizon View ships with several dashboards that allow you to monitor and configure your virtual environment. Each of these dashboards contains a number of views. This section describes these views in more detail. For more information about the dashboards, see Interact with Foglight for VMware Horizon View dashboards.
