Reference Guide
vmExplorer Primary View
The vmExplorer Dashboard has a Primary View that takes up the entire display panel of
the vFoglight GUI.
Purpose
The vmExplorer Primary View is the most content-intensive view in the VMware
Cartridge. It provides access to summary (of alarm, resource, and other) information for
the object being viewed in the vmExplorer Dashboard, as well as detailed information
on performance with respect to the four core ESX infrastructure resources: CPU,
memory, disk usage, and network usage.
It provides navigation tabs that can be used to view a variety of valuable information
pertaining to the object being viewed.
Content and Embedded Views
The metrics and the amount of detail displayed in the Primary View vary depending on
the type of object you select.
The Primary View changes in appearance and content, depending on which navigation
tab and embedded view you have selected.
The Primary View may or may not contain the following embedded views:
•Summary View
• Utilizations View
• Resource Pools Relationship Tree View
• Related Objects View
Each of these views is described in this chapter.
For more information about the vmExplorer Primary View, see the chapter titled
