Virtual centers: Software used to manage virtual environments that are built on the VMware® virtualization platform. Each virtual center creates a hierarchical structure of virtual objects that enables a system administrator to logically lay out their virtual infrastructure configuration. |

Datastores: Storage location for virtual machine files. |

IMPORTANT: vSphere resources are monitored with Foglight™ for VMware. The VMware Performance Agent, included with Foglight for VMware, collects this information and populates the XenDesktop Environment dashboard. If you want to monitor a Virtual Center, you need a running instance of the VMware Performance Agent. For more information about this agent, see the Foglight for VMware User and Reference Guide. |

The CPU Load spinner indicates the current percentage of the CPU resources the selected virtual center or ESX host uses to execute system code and user programs, based on the total CPU capacity. The % Used line in the CPU Utilization chart shows the percentage of the CPU resources the selected virtual center or ESX host uses to execute system code and user programs, during the selected time period. % Ready displays the percentage of the CPU resources that are ready for the virtual center or ESX host to execute system code and user programs during the selected time period. The Baseline area in the chart (ESX hosts only) indicates the expected CPU utilization range based on historical data.

The Swapped line in the Memory Utilization chart shows the amount of memory that is stored in disk swap space, during the selected time period. Shared displays the amount of the virtual machine memory that is freed up due to transparent page sharing. Ballooned represents he amount of physical memory that is actively being used by the VMware Memory Control Driver to allow the guest OS to selectively swap memory. Active shows the amount of the available memory that the virtual center uses during the selected time period.
The Total Memory value below the chart is the total amount of memory available to the selected virtual center. Memory Used shows the percentage of the memory resources the selected virtual center currently uses

The Disk I/O spinner indicates the rate at which the selected virtual center currently reads data from and writes to disk. The Read Rate line in the Disk Utilization chart represents the rate at which the selected virtual center reads data from the disk during the selected time period. Write Rate displays the rate at which the selected virtual center writes data to disk.

The Network I/O spinner indicates the rate at which the selected virtual center currently reads data from and writes to the network. The Receive Rate line in the Network Utilization chart represents the rate at which the selected virtual center reads data from the network during the selected time period. Send Rate displays the rate at which the selected virtual center sends data to the network.

The Memory Load spinner indicates the percentage of the memory resources the selected ESX host currently uses. The Utilization line in the Memory Utilization chart shows the percentage of the memory resources the selected ESX host uses during the selected time period. The Baseline area in the chart indicates the expected memory utilization range based on historical data.

The Datastore I/O spinner indicates the rate at which the selected ESX host currently reads data from and writes to the associated datastore. The Transfer Rate line in the Datastore Utilization chart represents the rate at which the selected virtual center reads data from and writes data to the datastore during the selected time period. The Baseline area in the chart indicates the expected datastore utilization range based on historical data.

The Network I/O spinner indicates the rate at which the selected ESX host currently reads data from and writes to the network. The Transfer Rate line in the Network Utilization chart represents the rate at which the selected virtual center transfers data from and to the network during the selected time period. The Baseline area in the chart indicates the expected network utilization range based on historical data.

Identifies potential virtual machine offenders that consume the highest amounts of the selected datastore resources. It also displays a pie chart indicating how much the virtual machines associated with the selected datastore contribute to the overall I/O. For each identified virtual machine, it shows its name, the ESX® host on which it is running, the disk transfer rate, the rate of I/O operations per second, and the average time that passes between the time the virtual machine issues and executes disk read or write operations.
