XenServer Overview

The XenServer Overview page contains sub-views that provide details on XenServer hosts and virtual machines.You can use these XenServer views to manage the capacity of Xen Server hosts and virtual machines, and view the XenServer infrastructure view treemap, and much more. The XenServer Hosts view, for instance, presents the resource allocation and usage pattern for all hosts. Detailed views allow you to see a time series chart of the key metrics for the last 30 days, and the Maps tab provides a graphical representation of the XenServer capacity.

You can filter and classify the data displayed in the view as per your requirement, with the help of various data filters that are located at the top of the view. For more information, see Using-filtering-options-in-the-Helix-Capacity-Optimization-Dashboard.
