Events and Workload Pane
This
pane appears in the lower third of the Resource Detail page when you click Workload in the Status pane.
You can expand this pane to view the graph of recent workload metric values. If an administrator configures
it, the graph shows events that might affect the selected resource. You can use the icons at the top of the pane
to change the display.
Events and Anomalies Pane
This pane appears in the lower third of the Resource Detail page when you click Anomalies in the Status pane.
You can expand this pane to view the graph of anomalies. If an administrator configures it, the graph shows
corresponding events that might affect the selected resource. You can use the icons at the top of the pane to
change the display.
Events and Faults Pane
This pane appears in the lower third of the Resource Detail page when you click Faults in the Status pane. You
can expand this pane to view a graph of faults. If an administrator configures it, the graph shows corresponding
events that might affect the selected resource. You can use the icons at the top of the pane to change the display.
Storage and Network Pane
For objects that have storage and network resources, this pane shows basic storage-related metrics. The pie
chart uses both volume and color to present information. The volume of the pie chart represents the amount
of used disk space. The color coding visualizes the nearness of the moment when disk space is exhausted.
Understanding Health Symptoms
A symptom is a metric that contributes to the health state of an object. For a global resource, you view health
symptoms in the Root Cause Ranking pane on the Resource Detail page. For a virtual resource, you view health
symptoms in the Metric Details pane on the Resource Detail page.
The Resource Detail page lists symptoms by child resource kinds. The parentheses after the resource kind name
contain information about the number of symptoms that are violating their thresholds for the resource group.
Figure 2-2. Example of a Symptom Group
The example shows a portion of the type of information that you might see when you view health symptoms.
Metrics that are violating their thresholds appear in metric groups. The parentheses after the metric group
name contain the number of violations for the metrics in the metric group.
When
you expand a metrics group, the list of metrics that are violating their thresholds appears. In each metric
row, you can check the percentage of objects that have threshold violations for the metric. A vertical blue line
represents the point in time when the first symptom became active.
