This report allows you to identify VMs that have more allocated resources such as vRAM or vCPU than they require.
The report collects and analyzes historical performance and resource configuration over a specified time period.
- Oversized Virtual Machines by CPU and Oversized Virtual Machines by Memory tables display VMs with excessive CPU and memory resources and deliver recommendations for their reconfiguration.
- Virtual Machines with Static Memory table lists all discovered VMs with static memory, their location and the amount of provisioned memory resources. You can use this information to consider enabling dynamic memory for these VMs.

Click a VM in the Virtual Machine column to drill down to VM performance charts that show how CPU and memory usage has been changing within the reporting period. |
Use Case
By analyzing historical performance, this report helps you identify VMs with excessive resource provisioning. You can use data in this report to change the current VM configuration and relocate VMs to other hosts.
Report Parameters
Scope: defines a virtual infrastructure level and its sub-components to analyze in the report.
Business View object(s): defines Business View groups to analyze in the report. The parameter options are limited to objects of the “Virtual Machine” type.
Interval - Interval Type: defines the time period to analyze in the report. Note that the reporting period must include at least one data collection session for the selected scope. Otherwise, the report will contain no data.
Top N: defines the maximum number of VMs the report will analyze.
Business hours from - to: defines time of a day for which historical performance data will be used to calculate the performance trend. All data beyond this interval will be excluded from the baseline used for data analysis.
