Infrastructure Overview
The vmMonitor Infrastructure Overview is located at the top left of the vmMonitor
Dashboard and is provided at the VirtualCenter, Datacenter, and Cluster object levels.
Purpose
The Infrastructure Overview on the vmMonitor Dashboard contains information about
the descendent or child objects of the object being viewed in the dashboard.
It provides a simple mechanism that you can use to see the total number of the various
types of child objects that exist within the selected object and the status of the
outstanding alarm with the highest severity for 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.
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 in which an administrator can
troubleshoot problems within the virtual infrastructure.
Figure 15 shows an example of a typical vmMonitor Infrastructure Overview.
