KVM Data Explorer view

The KVM Data Explorer view shows the behavior of entity specific performance metrics under fixed and custom time periods.

The Data Explorer views display the resource utilization of key metrics, such as, CPU core clock frequency, Number of CPU cores, CPU Utilization %, Real Memory Utilization %, Memory Utilization %, Total File Systems Utilization %, Real memory.

These metrics are displayed in separate charts. View the data for a specific domain, tag, or time periods by using the corresponding filters. For more information, see Filtering data displayed in Views.

To access KVM Overview in the navigation pane of Views tab, select Views > Virtualization > KVM > Data Explorer.
