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

Recommendations panel

All available recommendations for the VM. For more information, see Recommendations-page-in-the-vSphere-Virtual-Machines-view.

If the virtual node data is available, the forecasted saturation for memory is computed based on the virtual node memory utilization. Otherwise, it is computed using MEM_ACTIVE of the virtual machine.  When using MEM_ACTIVE, the vSphere VM Active Memory increase factor is applied to increase the MEM_ACTIVE metric value. You can configure the value of this vSphere VM Active Memory increase factor. For details, see Configuring-and-managing-thresholds-for-metrics-and-indicators.

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.
