IBM Data Explorer view

The Data Explorer view for IBM 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. You can choose to view the data for a specific domain, tag, or time periods by using the corresponding filters. For more information, see Using filtering options in views.  

To access the IBM Data Explorer view, in the navigation pane of Views tab, select Views > Cloud > IBM > IBM Data Explorer.

Virtual Machines page in the IBM Data Explorer view

From the Virtual Machines filter, select the VM that you want to view data for. You can configure the time filter and other page level filters according to your requirements.

The metrics are categorized based on different profiles and are grouped under separate tabs. Click a tab to view the charts for that profile.
