# Heatmap Dashboards

Heatmap dashboards compare two dimensions of performance metric values for objects and represent data as a heatmap. Heatmap objects are represented both by size of each heatmap tile, and by the color of each tile. Tiles are also grouped.

There are 4 heatmap dashboards available in the root Veeam for VMware folder:

- **Heatmap - Host Compute** dashboard shows CPU and memory usage for vSphere hosts.
- **Heatmap - VM Disk Performance** dashboard shows disk usage and latency for virtual machines.
- **Heatmap - VM Snapshot Finder** dashboard shows used storage space and snapshot age for virtual machines.
- **Heatmap - VM Storage and Power** dashboard shows used storage space and the state of virtual machines.

Example screenshot below shows the heatmap for host CPU and memory usage. The size of each tile represents the *available* CPU or memory for each host; and the color of the tile represents the *% usage* of CPU or memory.

The default configuration of the heatmap widgets can be customized. For details on changing widget settings, see section [Personalizing Veeam Dashboard Widgets](personalizing_dashboard_widgets.md).
