the values that you select. When you click the Invert Result icon, the widget shows only resources that

Health-Workload Scoreboard Widget
The Health-Workload Scoreboard widget shows the health or workload score of selected resources. The
icons for each resource are color coded. Green indicates best performance, which is 100 for health or 0 for
workload. Red indicates worst performance, which is 0 for health or 100 for workload.
Figure 4‑12. Health-Workload Scoreboard Widget
The workload score applies only to specific resources monitored through the VMware adapter. If you
configure the widget to show the workload for resources that do not have the workload metric, those
resources have blue icons.
You can double-click a resource icon to show the Resource Detail page for the resource. A dashed red line
appears around a selected resource icon.
Configure the Health-Workload Scoreboard Widget
You can define resources for the Health-Workload Scoreboard widget by editing the widget configuration.
