Exploring the Collective Use of All Organization, Organization vDC, or Provider vDC Resources

The following views display the levels of resource utilization for all organizations, organization vDCs, or provider vDCs objects:

•

Summary - All Organizations

•

Summary - All Organization vDCs

•

Summary - All Provider vDCs

These views identify the elements that consume the highest amount of system resources. They can help you learn about the resource levels used by all organizations, organization vDCs, or provider vDCs in your environment, and to identify and prevent potential bottlenecks by reallocating resources where they are most needed. These summary views appear on the right of the Quick View when you select the Organization, Organization vDCs, or Provider vDCs tile.

Figure 15. Summary view

The information appearing on this view is organized into the following tabs:

•

For information about the All Alarms view also appearing in this summary, see Managing Alarms .

Usage tab

Use this tab to identify the organizations, organization vDCs, or provider vDCs with the highest usage of CPU, memory, and disk resources. The information appearing on this tab can help you to quickly identify the objects whose usage exceeds projected expectations. In most cases, allocating additional resources to these components can help avoid potential bottlenecks.

Figure 16. Usage tab

For each of the identified organizations, organization vDCs, or provider vDCs, the graphs and tables appearing on this tab display the following information. Foglight™ for vCloud Director populates these tiles using the values stored as metrics collected from monitored organizations, organization vDCs, and provider vDCs.
