# Virtual Machines. Right-sizing — VMs Undersized for Memory and CPU

The **Virtual Machines. Right-sizing — VMs Undersized for Memory and CPU** report helps you detect virtual machines that have less allocated RAM or CPU resources than they require.

## Sample Usage

This section provides step-by-step instructions that will help you understand how to create the **Virtual Machines. Right-sizing — VMs Undersized for Memory and CPU** report. Consider the following example:

*You need to report on top 10 VMs that have less allocated memory than they require. Use performance statistics for the previous quarter as a ground for the report analysis; omit statistics collected on Saturdays and Sundays.*

To create the report, follow these steps:

1. [Open the Virtual Machines. Right-sizing — VMs Undersized for Memory and CPU report](open_undersized_vms_report.md).
2. [Define time intervals](define_undersized_vms_report_time_intervals.md).
3. [Choose how to display report charts](choose_how_to_display_undersized_vms_report_charts.md).
4. [Choose how to assess VM performance](choose_undersized_vms_report_assessment_options.md).
5. [Choose a report scope](choose_undersized_vms_report_scope.md).
6. [Define a resource to be analyzed](define_undersized_vms_report_resource.md).
7. [Choose a number of VMs to display](choose_number_of_undersized_vms.md).
8. [Run the report](run_undersized_vms_report.md).
9. [View the report output](undersized_vms_report_output.md).
