Quick View

The Quick View appears in the middle of the Monitoring tab on the OpenStack Environment dashboard. For more information about this dashboard, see Using the OpenStack Environment dashboard .

Purpose and content

The Quick View displays a list of objects associated with the selected resource object and summary information about the object or group of objects you select.

Figure 52. OpenStack Environment Monitoring tab: Quick View

The Quick View is made up of the following embedded views:

•

Resource object list view: displays the list of objects associated with the selected resource.

•

FAQts view: displays the list of questions relevant to the selected resource.

•

Summary view: displays a summary of relevant information related to the selected resource object or group of objects.


	NOTE: The information displayed on the summary view varies depending on whether you select one resource object or a group of resource objects. The view for a group of resource objects displays graphs and tables showing Top CPU Consumers, Top Memory Consumers, Top Network Consumers, and Top Disk Consumers. The view for one resource object shows a list of related items and CPU Utilization, Memory Utilization, Network Usage, and Disk Throughput.


	NOTE: The default view for All Volumes shows Top Disk Consumers. The summary view for a volume displays a list of related items and a graph showing disk throughput.

•

Alarms view: displays a list of alarms and when they were raised.

Reports tab

This tab is available in the OpenStack Environment view through a navigation tab. The display provides a convenient and easy-to-use dashboard with which to create reports, keep a track of past reports, reuse reports and edit reports.

Table 2. Predefined reports


Report Template Name	This template can be used to generate a report that...
Instances Utilization — Detail	Shows the top N and bottom N OpenStack Instances based on CPU-used Hz, CPU percent ready, memory consumed, disk growth rate, disk transfer rate, and network transfer rate over a user-specified time range. The value of N is also user-specified. The report considers only the OpenStack Instances in the service specified.
Instances Utilization — Summary	Shows the top N and bottom N OpenStack Instances based on CPU-used Hz, CPU percent ready, memory consumed, disk growth rate, disk transfer rate, and network transfer rate over a user-specified time range. The value of N is also user-specified. The report considers only the OpenStack Instances in the service specified.
OpenStack Alarms Overview	Reports on all the open snapshots for each virtual machine in the specified service. Open snapshots are those with no child snapshots.
OpenStack Host Capacity and Performance — Detail	Summarizes your virtual infrastructure, so that you can be sure that you are in compliance with the vFoglight license.

Resource Utilizations view

Purpose

The Resource Utilizations view, typically located across the center of the Quick View display area, provides numerical and graphical representations of performance data associated with a chosen resource objects. To find it, open the OpenStack Explorer and on the Topology tab select the name of a particular resource from the resource object list in the left frame.

For example, selecting a particular Host Aggregate from the Topology tab and opening the Performance tab in the display area, displays four graphs in the Resource Utilizations view. The graphs depict CPU, memory, disk, and network resource utilizations for the selected Host Aggregate.

On the Summary tab, clicking a graph or a spinner shows a larger view of the graph with descriptive text about each metric appearing in the graph.
