When you compare the Health scores, you can find health problems and see why the health has degraded.
You can also identify groups of objects that might have similar problems, check whether the workload is
high in the selected population, and whether the population has a lot of faults or anomalies.
When you compare the Efficiency scores, you can analyse visually the distribution of resources among child
objects of the selected object.
When you compare the Risk scores, you can prioritize objects that need your attention sooner than others.
You can click the names of objects in the Members List to navigate to their Details tabs. Viewing details
about the workload and resources that are available to the selected object can help you identify the possible
reasons for poor badge scores.
View the Compliance Details
The Compliance score is a value that is based on results that are generated in
vCenter Configuration Manager when the compliance templates that are mapped to the Compliance badge
are run. You can review the number of failed conditions that contribute to the score and access the template
in VCM to evaluate the results. Based on your evaluation, you can make changes to improve the score.
