Idle Templates

Templates are preconfigured images of your VMs that help you to easily deploy multiple copies of the model VMs across the infrastructure.

This report provides information on VM templates that have not been used for the specified period. For each inactive template, the report shows its location, size and the last time the template was used.

Inactive Interval - Interval Type: defines the amount of time that the template has to be inactive to be included in the report.

Idle Templates Note:

You can exclude specific datastores from this report. This can be useful when you are not interested in examining particular datastores for garbage files (for example, local datastores, datastores hosting ISO files or backups). In this case, you can exclude unnecessary datastores from the collection scope. For more information, see the Excluding Datastores from Reporting section of  Veeam ONE Monitor User Guide.
