For descriptions of the various metrics available in the Utilizations View and elsewhere

Reference Guide.
The Utilizations View may contain details about related objects as well. Those details

Single Object Utilizations Views
When you select a single object (Datacenter, Cluster, Server, Resource Pool, Virtual
Machine, or Datastore) from the Virtual Infrastructure View, summary information and
a Utilizations View is displayed under the Summary link in the Primary View. The
metrics and the amount of detail displayed vary depending on the type of object you
select.
Under the Summary link, a typical Utilizations View for an individual object provides
detailed information on the four core ESX infrastructure resources: CPU, memory, disk
usage, and network usage. Under other navigational links, the Utilizations View for an
individual object provides different information. For example, under the VMs link for
an ESX Server, the Utilizations View displays a graph illustrating the percent-used and
percent-ready CPU utilization for the Virtual Machines of that ESX Server. Under still
other navigational links, like the Datastores link for an ESX Server, the Utilizations
View is replaced with other pertinent information.
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 a Utilizations View that contains alarm severity level details, you can click an alarm
status indicator to see the Fatal, Critical, and Warning alarms for the associated object.
