Future Saturation page in the vSphere Virtual Machines view
VMs exhausting capacity table
The VMs exhausting capacity table displays the capacity status of VMs, daily trends, and the estimated number of days to saturation. Each row in the table corresponds to a VM and displays the following metrics:
1 Computed for VMs only if there is data for the Virtual Node, an established relationship (GM_ASSOCIATED_TO_VN) exists between the VM and its corresponding Virtual Node (VN), and the system is saturated. To create the GM_ASSOCIATED_TO_VN relationship, rerun the Virtual Node Linker system task (Administration > ETL & SYSTEM TASKS > System tasks > Virtual Node Linker). If the three criteria mentioned are not satisfied, the columns are left blank.
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 particular VM
To view the details page for a specific VM, click its (hyper-linked) name under the VM column. You can use the sorting and filtering options on the page to find a specific cluster.
For more information, see Sorting-a-table-in-the-Helix-Capacity-Optimization-Dashboard and Using-filtering-options-in-the-Helix-Capacity-Optimization-Dashboard.
The VM details page displays information for the selected VM under the following sections or panels:
Section or Panel | Description |
|---|---|
Summary page | A quick graphical summary of the CPU and memory utilization, and network bit rate and disk transfer rate for the VM. 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 Virtual-Machine-page-in-the-vSphere-Data-Explorer-view. |
Configuration Details page | Configuration information about the cluster. |
Related Information panel | Links to detailed pages for thresholds. |
Recommendations panel | All available recommendations for the VM. For more information, see Recommendations-page-in-the-vSphere-Virtual-Machines-view. |
Tags panel | List of tags that are associated with the VM. You can assign or remove tags by using the Edit Tags option from the Tags action menu. |
