Appendix: Alarm Messages

Instances and Limits view

Purpose
This view displays the list of the existing VMware object types. This information can give you insight into the size of your database and whether additional adjustments are required to improve your system performance.
Figure 317. Instances and Limits view
How to Get Here
•
On the VMware Environment dashboard, on the Administration tab, click Review Instances and Limits.
The Instances and Limits view appears in the display area.
 
Table 151. Description of the View
Data displayed
•
Instance Count. The current number of object instances of this type.
 
•
Instance Limit. The maximum number of object instances of this type that can be instantiated.
 
•
Object Type. The type of the topology object.
 
•
Status. The current status representing the highest severity level associated with an instance of that type.
 
•
Utilized. The percentage of the object limit instance that is currently utilized.

OS Mapping view

Purpose
You configure OS mapping rules using the OS Mapping view. OS mapping is the mapping of the various versions and editions of a particular operating system to a common OS name. This helps Foglight for VMware manage the variety of versions and editions of each OS.
Figure 318. OS Mapping view
How to Get Here
•
On the VMware Environment dashboard, on the Administration tab, click Configure OS Mapping.
The OS Mapping view appears in the display area.
 
Table 152. Description of the View
Data displayed
•
Common OS Name. The OS name.
 
•
Matching String. The OS name to be matched against existing OS names.
 
•
Priority. The matching priority. Selecting a mapping and clicking or allows you to edit the priority sequence.

Quick-View

Purpose
The Quick-View displays summary information about the objects you select from the Virtual Environment Overview, which is also available on the Virtual Environment Summary dashboard.
Figure 319. Quick-View
The Quick-View is made up of two embedded views—the Object Tree view and the Object Summary view. Depending on what is selected in the Object Tree view, the Object Summary view, located at the right of the Quick-View, displays summary information for either a single object or for a group of objects of a particular type.
How to Get Here
•
On the VMware Environment dashboard, open the Monitoring tab.
The Quick-View appears in the middle of the display area.

Resource Pool Summary view

Purpose
The Resource Pool Summary view shows the overall resource utilization and the amounts of system resource consumption for a physical resource pool.
Figure 320. Resource Pool Summary view
How to Get Here
1
On the VMware Environment dashboard, on the Monitoring tab, in the Virtual Environment Overview, select the Resource Pools tile.
2
In the Quick-View, select a resource pool node in the Resource Pools view.
The Resource Pool Summary view appears on the right.
Description of Embedded Views
This view is made up of the following embedded views:
