Hyper-V Explorer Storage tab (virtual machines)

The Hyper-V Explorer Storage tab displays combination of embedded views displaying disk volumes associated with a selected virtual machine. It identifies the virtual machines that spend the highest amounts of disk resources. Use this tab to find out more about the overall consumption of disk resources for a given virtual machine. The information provided on this tab can help you prevent potential bottlenecks by reallocating disk resources where they are most needed.

This tab appears in the Hyper-V Explorer when you select a virtual machine on the Hyper-V Explorer Topology tab.

To access the Hyper-V Alarms dashboard:
1
Log in to the Foglight Evolve Cloud browser interface.
2
Ensure that the navigation panel is open.
To open the navigation panel, click the right-facing arrow on the left.
3
On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, choose Hyper-V > Hyper-V Alarms.
The Hyper-V Alarms dashboard appears in the display area.
 

Alarm overview

The Alarms Overview shows the Hyper-V Monitoring in Foglight Evolve Cloud alarms, grouped by object type and severity level. Use it as a starting point when monitoring alarms to quickly identify the sources of problems within the virtual infrastructure.

This view appears along the top of the Hyper-V Alarms dashboard, just above the Alarm table.
