Configuring the Measures for the Datastores Dashboard

The Datastores dashboard provided by the eG Enterprise helps end-users themselves to view the performance metrics related to resource utilization, connectivity and traffic to the virtual machines in their infrastructure. To configure the measures which need to be highlighted in the Datastores dashboard, you can use the Datastores Dashboard sub-node under Virtualizations node in the MONITOR SETTINGS tree-structure and its sub-nodes.

  1. First, expand the Datastores Dashboard node under the Virtualizations node in the MONITOR SETTINGS tree in the left panel. Then, click the Configured Measures sub-node.

  2. The CONFIGURED MEASURES page will then appear in the right panel.

  3. You can configure the Datastores dashboard with a different set of measures for different types of users in your environment. By default, the All User Types option is chosen from the list box indicating that the CONFIGURED MEASURES page displays the complete list of metrics pre-configured for display in the Datastores dashboard, irrespective of the types of users in your environment. If you wish to view the measures that are relevant only to your datastores, then you can select the appropriate option from the list box.

  4. If you to wish to view the performance of a measure that is not pre-defined in this section, click on the Add  New Measure button in this page. An ADD A NEW MEASURE pop up window will then appear using which you can add more measures to the Datastores Dashboard. To know more about how to add measures to the Datastores Dashboard, Click here.
