For example, a fabric administrator is concerned with monitoring the resource consumption of
reservations and compute resources, whereas a tenant administrator is concerned with the resource
usage of the provisioning groups within a tenant. Depending on your role and the specific resource usage
you want to monitor, vRealize Automation allows you different ways to track resource consumption.
Table 1‑9. Choose a Resource Monitoring Scenario
Resource Monitoring Scenario Privileges Required Location
Monitor the amount of physical storage
and memory on your compute
resources that is currently being
consumed and determine what amount
remains free. You can also monitor the
number of reserved and allocated
machines provisioned on each
compute resource.
Fabric Administrator (monitor resource
usage on compute resources in your fabric
group)
Infrastructure > Compute Resources >
Compute Resources
Monitor machines that are currently
provisioned and under
vRealize Automation management.
Fabric Administrator Infrastructure > Machines > Managed
Machines
Monitor the amount of storage,
memory, and machine quota of your
reservation that is currently allocated
and determine the capacity that
remains available to the reservation.
Fabric Administrator (monitor resource
usage for reservations on your compute
resources and physical machines)
Infrastructure > Reservations >
Reservations
Monitor the amount of storage,
memory, and the machine quota that
your business groups are currently
consuming and determine the capacity
that remains on reserve for them.

Tenant Administrator (monitor
resource usage for all groups in your
tenant)
n
Business Group Manager (monitor
resource usage for groups that you
manage)
Administration > Users & Groups >
Business Groups
You can also add resource monitoring portlets to your vRealize Automation homepage to monitor different
resource usage statistics.
Managing Resource Reports
You can add real-time resource reports to your Home page to monitor virtual, physical, and cloud
resource usage, change their layout, and export their data to other applications.
Add Reports to the Home Page
You can add one or more IaaS reports to your Home page. These real-time reports list your most recent
open tasks, catalog requests, provisioned items, and provisioned machines broken down by user,
blueprint, compute resource, and business group. Two reports also display updated summaries of
reclamation savings.
