Utilizations views

A Utilizations view is provided in the VMware Explorer dashboard. The Utilizations view is part of the VMware Explorer Primary view and is typically located at the center of the Primary view. For more information about the VMware Explorer dashboard, see Use the VMware Explorer .

The Utilizations view provides numerical and graphical representations of utilization metrics associated with the single object (datacenter, cluster, ESX® Server, resource pool, or virtual machine) or collection of objects of a particular type (datacenters, clusters, ESX Servers, resource pools, or virtual machines) that is selected.

The metrics and the amount of detail displayed on the Utilizations view vary depending on the type of object that is being viewed.

A Utilizations view 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.

Within a single object Utilizations view, you can hover the cursor over any metric to see a description of that metric, and you can click any metric or chart to see a popup with a detailed chart.

Within a collection of objects Utilizations view, you can hover the cursor over any graph to see an exact unit measurement that corresponds to the placement of the cursor, and you can click any metric or chart to see a popup with a detailed chart.

When you select a single object (datacenter, cluster, ESX Server, resource pool, or virtual machine) from the Virtual Infrastructure view, summary information and a Utilizations view is displayed under the Summary tab in the Primary view. Both the metrics and the amount of detail displayed vary depending on the type of object you select.

Under the Summary tab, a typical Utilizations view for an individual object provides detailed information on the four core ESX infrastructure resources: CPU, memory, disk usage, and network usage. Under other navigation tabs, the Utilizations view for an individual object provides different information. For example, under the VMs tab for an ESX Host, the Utilizations view displays a graph illustrating the percent-used and percent-ready CPU utilization for the virtual machines of that ESX Host. Under still other navigation tabs, like the Memory tab for an ESX Host, the Utilizations view is replaced with other pertinent information.

Within a single object Utilizations view, you can hover the cursor over any metric to see a description of that metric, and you can click any metric or chart to see a popup with a detailed chart.

In a Utilizations view that contains alarm severity level details, you can click an alarm status indicator to see the fatal, critical, and warning alarms for the associated object.

The following image shows a Utilizations view for a cluster object. As explained above, you can hover the cursor over any metric in a Utilizations view to see a description of the metric, and you can click any metric or chart to see a popup with a detailed chart. For example, if you click the CPU Load gauge for a cluster object, a graph of CPU utilization over the time range specified for the VMware Explorer dashboard is displayed. If you click the Memory Utilization graph, a larger view of the graph with descriptive text about each memory metric is displayed.

When a collection of objects of a particular type (datacenters, clusters, ESX Servers, resource pools, or virtual machines) is selected from the Virtual Infrastructure view, summary text and a chart—or other compositional information for the collection—are displayed under the Summary tab in the Primary view. No Utilizations view is displayed.

Under some of the other navigation tabs (the Performance and VMs tabs, for examples) in the Primary view, the Utilizations view does appear for collections of objects. Under the Performance tab, the Utilizations view typically displays four graphs showing CPU, memory, disk, and network resource utilizations for the objects in the selected collection. Under the VMs tab, the Utilizations view typically displays a graph illustrating the percent-used and percent-ready CPU utilization for the virtual machines of the selected collection.

Within a collection of objects Utilizations view, you can hover the cursor over any graph to see an exact unit measurement that corresponds to the placement of the cursor, and you can click any metric or chart to see a popup with a detailed chart.

The following image shows a Utilizations view for a collection of ESX Server objects.

Virtual Environment Overview

Virtual Environment Summary dashboard provides a Virtual Environment Overview. The Virtual Environment Overview is located at the top of the dashboard. For more information about this dashboard, see Use the VMware View Environment dashboard.

The Virtual Environment Overview provides you with an overview of the selected virtual environment.

The overview has a tile for each type of object in your virtual infrastructure. Each tile shows how many of the corresponding object type there are in your virtual infrastructure, as well as the count of objects of that type in each of the alarm states (normal, warning, critical, fatal).

Click the object type icon, the object type name, or the object count, to view summary information for that entire object type in the Quick-View. Click an alarm state (for example, warning) on a tile to view summary information in the Quick-View for the objects of that type that are in the selected alarm state.

If an alarm state has a count of zero, then you cannot select that alarm state.

Virtual Infrastructure view

The VMware Explorer dashboard provides a Virtual Infrastructure view. The Virtual Infrastructure view is located in the navigational panel at the left of the Foglight for Hyper-V browser interface, under Dashboards. For more information about the VMware Explorer dashboard, see Use the VMware Explorer.

The Virtual Infrastructure view provides an organized view of the various virtual infrastructure objects that are monitored by agents. It serves as a navigation tool, and it also presents pertinent alarm information.

When you select an object from the Virtual Infrastructure view, all of the views in the VMware Explorer dashboard are updated with information pertaining to that object.

The Virtual Infrastructure view contains two tabs views: the Topology tab and the Hierarchy tab.

Within the Topology view, all of the virtual infrastructure objects are organized into a tree using object type (or topology type) containers for branches. The top-level objects in the Topology view are always the VirtualCenters or vCenter®.

Within the Hierarchy view, each VirtualCenter object is organized into a tree that has the same hierarchical structure as the VirtualCenter and displays the objects (datacenters, clusters, resource pools, virtual machines, folders, etc.) within the VirtualCenter as branches.

The Virtual Infrastructure view is made up of the following embedded views:

The Topology view is organized into a tree using object type (or topology type) containers for branches.

The top-level objects in the Topology view are always the VirtualCenters.

Each VirtualCenter in the Topology view contains several object type containers, and each object type container contains every object of that particular type that is managed by the parent VirtualCenter.

Each object type container, as well as each object, has a representative icon that is displayed to the left, as shown in the following table.

VirtualCenter

VMWVirtualCenter

Datacenter

VMWDatacenter

Cluster

VMWCluster

ESX Server

VMWESXServer

Resource Pool

VMWResourcePool

Virtual Machine

VMWVirtualMachine

Datastore

VMWDatastore

At the right, the Topology view displays status indicators. For an individual object, the status indicator represents the alarm of highest severity that is outstanding for that object. For an object type container, the status indicator represents the alarm of highest severity that is outstanding for all of the objects of that type.

The Hierarchy view represents the logical layout of VirtualCenter management servers, so it is not organized into groups of common objects.

In the Hierarchy view, each VirtualCenter object is organized into a tree that has the same hierarchical structure as the corresponding VirtualCenter, displaying the objects (for example, datacenters, clusters, resource pools, virtual machines, and folders) within the VirtualCenter as branches.

Each object in the Hierarchy view has a representative icon that is displayed at the left of the object’s name. These icons are shown in the table in Topology tab .

At the right, the Hierarchy view displays status indicators. Each status indicator represents the alarm of highest severity that is outstanding for the corresponding object.

When you hover the cursor over an object in the Virtual Infrastructure view, you see a popup that provides a summary of the present state of that object.

The following image shows the popup you see when you hover the cursor over a VirtualCenter object in the Virtual Infrastructure view.

VMware Explorer Primary view

The VMware Explorer dashboard has a Primary view that takes up the entire display panel of the browser interface. For more information about the VMware Explorer dashboard, see Use the VMware Explorer.

The VMware Explorer Primary view is the most content-intensive view in Foglight for VMware Horizon View. It provides access to summary (of alarm, resource, and other) information for the object being viewed in the VMware Explorer dashboard, as well as detailed information on performance with respect to the four core ESX® infrastructure resources: CPU, memory, disk, and network usage. This view provides a great deal of value to administrators who leverage to monitor their virtual infrastructure.

It provides navigation tabs that can be used to view a variety of valuable information pertaining to the object being viewed.

The metrics and the amount of detail displayed in the Primary view vary depending on the type of object you select.

The Primary view changes in appearance and content, depending on which navigation tab and embedded view you have selected.

The VMware Explorer Primary view heading, located at the top of the VMware Explorer Primary view, consists of three main components:

The alarm summary at the right of the Primary view heading shows you the number of alarms at each severity level that are outstanding for the selected object. When you click an alarm count, you get a popup that lists the active alarms for the object.

The navigation tabs are located immediately below the selected object’s name. 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 Primary view changes in appearance and content, depending on which navigation tab and embedded view you have selected. For example, typically if you select an object type container from the Topology view, the Summary tab in the Primary view displays a consumption graph and a table that are representative of the group of objects within that container. However, if you select a Resource Pools container from the Topology view, the Summary tab in the Primary view displays a Resource Pools Relationship Tree that contains every resource pool that belongs to the clusters within the associated VirtualCenter.

If you select an individual resource pool from the Virtual Infrastructure view, the Summary tab in the Primary view displays summary and utilization information for that resource pool. This is typically the type of information you see for the Summary tab when you select any individual object from the Virtual Infrastructure view.

The metrics and the amount of detail displayed in the Primary view vary depending on the type of object you select.

The VMware Explorer Primary view a combination of a number of different embedded views. For more information, see the following topics:
