Foglight Resource Optimizer 5.7.7 - User Guide (for VMware Environments)

Potential Zombie VMs

Zombie VMs are powered-on virtual machines that system administrators may have neglected and that are no longer in use. They are often hard to find in a virtualized infrastructure. It is recommended to power off these zombie VMs.

The Potential Zombie VMs category identifies those VMs by analyzing CPU, memory, network, and disk throughput for consistent usage over an extended period. It allows you to reclaim them, if necessary.

By default, a VM is considered a zombie VM if all of the following conditions are met for every resource:

For a list of requirements necessary for Foglight Resource Optimizer to successfully power off the potential zombie VMs, see Enable optional privileges for resource optimization.

The Potential Zombie VMs view includes the following elements:

This table includes the following information:

Virtual Machine. Name assigned to the VM.

CPU. CPU utilization.

Memory. Memory amount that the zombie VM is wasting.

Disk Throughput. Throughput speed of the zombie VM’s disk.

Network. Network speed of the zombie VM.

Recommendations. Recommends removing the potential zombie files.

The Search for a Virtual Machine box is located on the top left corner of the table. It allows you to search the environment for a specific virtual machine, by entering its name in the search box. The VMs matching the search criteria are displayed in the Virtual Machines table.

VM Configuration

The VM Configuration category allows you to search for VMs with duplicate UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers) and for VMs with duplicate VMIDs (bios IDs), and provides recommendations for remediation. For a list of requirements necessary for Foglight Resource Optimizer to successfully remove duplicate UUIDs, see Enable optional privileges for resource optimization.
