At A Glance View
The vmExplorer Dashboard provides an At A Glance View. It is located in the
navigation panel of vFoglight, below the Virtual Infrastructure View.
Purpose
The At A Glance View provides key statistical information for the object that is selected
in the Virtual Infrastructure View. The information shown depends on the object that is
selected. For example, if you select an ESX Server from the Virtual Infrastructure View,
the At A Glance View shows the status of the CPU utilization, server information, the
top five consumers of CPU, memory, disk, and network resources, and the top five
Virtual Machines in terms of percent-ready CPU utilization for the selected Server. If
you select a Virtual Machine from the Virtual Infrastructure View, the At A Glance
View shows a Status View for each of the parent objects (Datacenter, Cluster, and ESX
Server) of the selected Virtual Machine.
When the At A Glance View displays information about Servers or Virtual Machines, it
can be used to navigate to those Servers or Virtual Machines.
Figure 6 shows an example of a typical At A Glance View for a Virtual Machine.
