Interacting with the vFoglight Cartridge for VMware 75
vmMonitor Dashboard
The information presented within the Status Views varies slightly depending on the
object that is being viewed in the vmMonitor Dashboard. The Status Views typically
show alarm and configuration information, as well as current CPU, memory, disk and
network trends. If you click an alarm count within a Status View, a list of alarms for the
corresponding object is displayed. If you click an object’s icon, you are taken to a
vmMonitor Dashboard for the object to which the icon corresponds. If you click any of
the CPU, memory, disk or network sparklines or values, a popup appears that provides a
more detailed chart.
Figure 18 shows an example of a typical vmMonitor Related Objects View.

for VMware provides for a virtual infrastructure.
