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 vFoglight. 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 navigational links 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.
Also, due to the ability to change the information displayed in the Primary View through
the use of the navigational links and to the fact that the Primary View consists of several
embedded views, the Primary View can change quite a lot in appearance and content.
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.

titled Interacting with vFoglight in the vFoglight User Guide.
