Infrastructure Overview
The vmMonitor Dashboard provides an Infrastructure Overview, which is located
toward the top left of the dashboard.
Purpose and Content
The Infrastructure Overview is provided at the VirtualCenter, DataCenter, and Cluster
levels. This view contains information about the descendent or child objects of the
object being viewed in the vmMonitor Dashboard.
The Infrastructure Overview provides a simple mechanism that you can use to see the
total number of the various types of child objects within the selected object and the
outstanding alarm with the highest severity that exists for an object of each type.
The number on each disk indicates the number of descendent objects of that type that
exist within the selected object. The disk color indicates the status of the outstanding
alarm with the highest severity that exists for an object of that type. These disk colors
correspond to the colors used throughout vFoglight to indicate alarm severity.
If you click any of the disks, a popup appears that displays a current alarm list for the
corresponding object type. If you then click an alarm message, you are taken to a
vmMonitor Dashboard for the object to which the message corresponds.
The Infrastructure Overview provides a simple way for an administrator to troubleshoot
problems within the virtual infrastructure.
For more detailed information about the Infrastructure Overview, see the chapter titled
Interacting with vFoglight in the vFoglight User Guide.
