Future Saturation page in the vSphere Infrastructure view
This topic contains the following sections:
The data in the page is categorized based on systems and grouped under separate tabs. Click a tab to view the metrics for that subsystem:
- Clusters
- Datastores
Metrics per datastore cluster are displayed in a tabular format. By default, the table is sorted on the number of additional datastores that can be added to the cluster on the basis of their capacity.
that is located next to the table title.Clusters metrics
The Clusters page displays the capacity status of clusters, daily trends, and the estimated number of days to saturation.
Each row in the table corresponds to a vSphere cluster and displays the following information. To view details of a particular cluster, under the Cluster column, click the name of the cluster. For more information, see Cluster details page.
For more information about the Days to Saturation and other indicator parameters used for metric computations in this view, see Indicators.
Datastores metrics
The Datastores page displays the capacity status of datastores, daily trends, and the estimated number of days to saturation. Click the Datastores tab in the page to access the metrics.
Each row in the table corresponds to a datastore and displays the following information.
For more information about the Days to Saturation and other indicator parameters used for metric computations in this view, see Indicators.
To view details for a specific vSphere cluster
To view the details page for a particular vSphere cluster, click its (hyper-linked) name under the Cluster column. You can use the sorting and filtering options on the page to find a specific cluster.
The Cluster details page displays information for the selected cluster under the following sections or panels:
Section or Panel | Description |
|---|---|
Summary page | A quick graphical summary of the CPU, memory, and datastore utilization, and network I/O rate of the cluster. Core metrics for the selected entity are displayed as analysis charts, depending on available data. At the bottom of each chart is a link that takes you to the Data Explorer view for the specific resource type, and displays charts and information for a larger set of metrics. The data displayed in Data Explorer view charts for any resource part of this view category, is based on the time filter that is applied to the primary view in this tab. You can select other time filter options to view charts over a different time resolution For more information, see Cluster-page-in-the-vSphere-Data-Explorer-view. |
Configuration Details page | Configuration information about the cluster. |
Related Information panel | Links to detailed pages for thresholds, host details, and VM details. For more information, see Viewing related information. |
Recommendations panel | All available recommendations for the cluster. For more information, see Recommendations-page-in-the-vSphere-Infrastructure-view. |
Tags panel | List of tags that are associated with the cluster. You can assign or remove tags by using the Edit Tags option from the Tags action menu. |
To view details for a specific vSphere datastore
To view the details page for a specific vSphere datastore, click its (hyper-linked) name under the Datastore column. You can use the sorting and filtering options on the page to find a specific datastore cluster.

The Datastore details page displays information under the following sections or panels:
Section or Panel | Description |
|---|---|
Summary page | A quick graphical summary of the datastore space and capacity utilization, and read/write rate and latency details. At the bottom of the chart is a link that takes you to the corresponding Data Explorer view. The data displayed in Data Explorer view charts is based on the time filter that is applied to the primary view in this tab. You can change the time period in the Data Explorer view for the selected resource, to view charts over a different time resolution. For more information, see Datastore-page-in-the-vSphere-Data-Explorer-view. |
Configuration Details page | Configuration information about the datastore. |
Associated Systems page | Name and system type details for all vSphere systems, such as clusters, hosts, VMs, that are associated with the selected datastore. |
Recommendations panel | All available recommendations for the datastore. For more information, see Recommendations-page-in-the-vSphere-Infrastructure-view. |
Tags panel | List of tags that are associated with the cluster. You can assign or remove tags by using the Edit Tags option from the Tags action menu. |
To find a specific cluster or datastore
Ensure that you are in the correct page (Clusters or Datastores). Use the sorting and filtering options on the page to find a specific cluster or datastore.
