Maps page in the Servers Overview view


The Maps page in the Servers Overview view provides a graphical representation of server capacity. This representation is implemented by using a data visualization tool called Tree Maps. The Tree Map view displays system entities in a hierarchical order by using a series of clustered rectangles that together represent a whole system. 

To access the Maps view in the navigation pane of Views tab, select Views > Servers > Overview > Maps.

The page shows the following capacity-specific details of servers. 

  • The CPU Util tab shows the CPU usage.
  • The Real Memory Util tab shows the real memory usage.
  • The Storage Util tab shows the storage usage.

Overview of the tree map

Each outer rectangle represents the parent entity and the inner rectangles are the child entities, as shown in the following image:

The size of the cells denotes the capacity size on that entity.

The color of the cells denotes the usage percentage of that entity, with white indicating no usage and red indicating high usage. The color legend is displayed at the top of the tree map, as shown in the following image:

To view entities with free resources

By default, the tree map does not show the free resources of entities. To view the free resources that are available, you must change the map layout.

In the Tree map view, click launch_to_console_menu.png next to Map Layout and click Map Layout with Free Resource.

Similarly, view the details of each child entity within a parent entity.

To focus only on one entity at a time and not display the others, do one of the following:

  • Double-click the entity.

To navigate back to the parent entity

In the child entity page, the navigation path from the source Treemap view is listed at the the top-left of the treemap. Click the parent entity name in the listed path to go to that entity.

Click a color legend. For example, click 10%.
