102 Cartridge for VMware
Reference Guide
Utilizations Views
A Utilizations View is provided in both the vmExplorer and the vmMonitor
Dashboards.
In the vmExplorer Dashboard, the Utilizations View is part of the Primary View and is
typically located at the center of the Primary View.
In the vmMonitor Dashboard, the Utilizations View is not considered part of another
View and is typically located at the center of the dashboard.
Purpose and Content
In the vmExpolorer Dashboard, the Utilizations View provides numerical and graphical
representations of utilization metrics associated with the single object (Datacenter,
Cluster, Server, Resource Pool, Virtual Machine, or Datastore) or collection of objects
of a particular type (Datacenters, Clusters, Servers, Resource Pools, Virtual Machines,
or Datastores) that is selected.
In the vmMonitor Dashboard, the Utilizations View only provides numerical and
graphical representations of utilization metrics associated with single objects.
The metrics and the amount of detail displayed on the Utilizations View vary depending
on the type of object that is being viewed.
In the vmExplorer Dashboard, a Utilizations View may not appear at all depending on
the object or collection of objects selected from the Virtual Infrastructure View and on
the navigation tab selected from the vmExplorer Primary View heading.
Within a single object Utilizations View, you can hover the cursor over any metric to see
a description of that metric, and you can click any metric or chart to see a popup with a
detailed chart.
In the vmExplorer Dashboard, within a collection of objects Utilizations View, you can
hover the cursor over any graph to see an exact unit measurement that corresponds to
the placement of the cursor, and you can click any metric or chart to see a popup with a
detailed chart.
For descriptions of the various metrics available in the Utilizations View and elsewhere
in the VMware Cartridge, refer to “Cartridge for VMware Rules” on page 25.
For more information about Utilizations Views, see the chapter titled “Interacting with
the Cartridge for VMware” in the vFoglight Cartridge for VMware User Guide.
