Where to go next	Drill down on any virtual machine entry. The VMware Environment dashboard appears, showing the server details on the Summary tab.

Virtual Infrastructure view

Purpose

The Virtual Infrastructure view provides an organized view of the various virtual infrastructure objects that are monitored by Foglight for VMware. 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.

How to Get Here

•	Open the VMware Explorer.

The Virtual Infrastructure view appears on the navigation panel.

Description of Embedded Views

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

•	Topology Tab

•	Hierarchy Tab

•	Mouse-over Status Popups

Topology Tab

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

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 vCenters.

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.

 

Table 94. Virtual Infrastructure View Object Icons

Icon	Object	Object Name
	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 objects of that type.

 

NOTE: A single virtual machine running at a high CPU utilization does not trigger an alarm for its parent ESX Server. An alarm is only triggered for the parent ESX Server if the server itself is running at a high CPU utilization.

Hierarchy Tab

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

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.

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.

Mouse-over Status Popups

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 area of the Foglight for VMware browser interface. For more information about the VMware Explorer dashboard, see Investigating performance metrics .

Purpose

The VMware Explorer Primary view is the most content-intensive view in Foglight for VMware. 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 Foglight for VMware to monitor their virtual infrastructure.

Figure 84. VMware Explorer Primary view

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

Content and Embedded Views

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: an icon and text that specify the type of selected object or object container (from this point on, these two are referred to simply as object, unless otherwise specified), an alarm summary for the selected object, and navigation tabs.

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, 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 contains a combination of a number of different embedded views. For more information, see the following topics:

•	Administration tab

•

Cost tab

How to Get Here

1	Open the VMware Explorer.

2	On the Virtual Infrastructure view, that appears on the navigation panel, select any node, except an individual virtual machine node.

3	In the VMware Explorer, open the VMs tab.

Description of Embedded Views

•	Heat Map Chart

Heat maps will be refreshed automatically when you change either of the following fields:

•	Selected Metric: Populates a rectangle based upon the selected metrics. For example, if you select Memory Consumed from the Selected Metric drop-down list, the rectangle area will be populated based on the used memory for the selected topology object.

•	Virtual Machine: Select to display all virtual machines, or virtual machines with alarms.

•	Rendering related metrics: For example, if you select CPU Utilization and Red to Green, the rectangle of the topology object that has larger value of CPU Utilization will be rendered in red.

•	Color Metric: Renders the color of rectangle based upon the selected color metric.

•	Color Pattern: Offers two patterns, Red to Green (larger value shows in red) or Green to Red (larger value shows in green).

•	Metric Table

Metric table lists the metrics of the virtual machine. The column values will vary with the Selected Metric and Color Metric.
