Interacting with the vFoglight Cartridge for VMware 73
vmMonitor Dashboard
VirtualCenter Messages View
The VirtualCenter Messages View is displayed toward the bottom of the vmMonitor
Dashboard.
Purpose
vFoglight Cartridge for VMware receives VirtualCenter messages (including status
changes and VirtualCenter alarms, if configured) and presents them in the vmMonitor
Dashboard.
Note These messages are not generated by vFoglight Cartridge for VMware.
The VirtualCenter Messages View displays these VirtualCenter messages for the
dashboard time range specified. For specific information about dashboard time ranges,
refer to the vFoglight User Guide.
If you click a message within the VirtualCenter Messages View, you are taken to a
vmMonitor Dashboard for the object to which the message corresponds. As mentioned
previously, you can use the breadcrumbs at the top of the vmMonitor Dashboard to
navigate back up through the virtual infrastructure.
Figure 17 shows an example of a typical vmMonitor Messages View.
