Top/Bottom VMs page in the vSphere Virtual Machines view
Top-Bottom VMs table
Each row in the Top/bottom VMs table corresponds to a VM and displays the following metrics.
Detailed information about a particular VM
To view the details page for a specific VM, click its name under the VM column. You can use the sorting and filtering options on the page to find a specific cluster.
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 | Displays the following links:
This link is enabled when the administrator has collected the virtual node data:
|
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. |
Detailed information about a particular virtual node
To view the details page for a specific virtual node, click the Virtual node link in the Related Information panel of the VM details page. This link is displayed if the the virtual node data is available.
Section or Panel | Description |
|---|---|
Summary page | A quick graphical summary of the CPU, Memory, Real Memory, and Total File System Utilization for the virtual node. Core metrics with namespace as opt:meas:vn for the selected entity are displayed as analysis charts, depending on available data. |
Configuration Details page | Configuration information about the virtual node. |
Related Information panel | Displays the Thresholds link. Clicking on this link takes you to the Metric thresholds page for the selected entity in the Workspace. This page lists the metric thresholds and enables you to edit or delete them or add new thresholds. With thresholds, you can monitor how the metric is behaving relative to a specified value. |
Recommendations panel | All available recommendations for the virtual node. For more information, see Recommendations-page-in-the-vSphere-Virtual-Machines-view. For the virtual node data, 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.

Tags panel | List of tags that are associated with the virtual node. You can assign or remove tags by using the Edit Tags option from the Tags action menu. |
