Views

Foglight for Hyper-V ships with predefined views to help you monitor your application server environment. This section provides quick reference information about each view.

Foglight for Hyper-V 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 for Hyper-V, as well as those created by users, are available in the navigational panel.

Lower-level views in Foglight for Hyper-V 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.
