Performance Summary of a particular Virtual Component

If you click on a particular Component Name under the Component Type, then the resulting summary tab page will provide an overview of the performance of that particular Component alone.

• The Infrastructure Overview section in this case will provide a quick performance summary of that particular component chosen from the tree-structure. This section reveals the number of VMs, the number of powered-on VMs, and the number of datastores used by the environment. By moving your mouse pointer over any of these numbers, you can view the corresponding details - i.e., the names of VMs/datastores, as the case may be. This way, you can rapidly identify the VMs that are currently powered-off. This section also reports the resource usage of the component, how well the component is currently using the physical memory and CPU resources available to it.
• The Graphs section in the Summary tab page displays a series of graphs depicts how the component has been using the physical memory and CPU resources available to it over a default period of 6 hours. You can magnify any of these graphs by clicking on it. You can even change the Timeline of the expanded graph, to facilitate more effective analysis of the resource usage. Using these graphs, you can determine how resource-intensive the components has been.
• A legend is provided at the end of every graph clearly indicating which VM is represented using which color in the graph. This is accompanied by the Avg, Max, and Min values that the chosen Measure has recorded for every VM during the chosen Timeline. To view the legends above the graph, Check the Show Legends button in the Graph section.
