Virtual Machine Summary

In this article

    The VM summary dashboard provides the health state and performance overview for the selected VM. In addition, this dashboard shows the state of objects that can affect the VM performance — the parent host and the datastores where VM files are located.

    Virtual Machine Summary Dashboard

    Selected Object

    The section at the top of the dashboard shows the VM health state (number of warnings and errors) and the date when the latest backup or replica restore point was created for the VM with Veeam Backup & Replication.

    CPU Usage, Memory Usage

    The charts display the amount of CPU and memory resources currently consumed by the VM.

    Guest Disk Usage

    The chart displays the amount of available and used guest disk space with a breakdown by disks. By default, 5 guest disks with the greatest amount of used space are displayed.

    Use the Disks to show list to change the number of disks to display on the chart. Click the View all disks link to view details for all guest disks. In the Guests disks window, you can suppress Guest disk space alarms for specific disks. To suppress alarms for a disk, select the Suppress alarm check boxes next to the disk name.

    Virtual Machine Summary Note:

    Details on the guest disk usage are available only for VMs with VMware Tools installed.

    Parent Object Health Status

    The section displays the current state of the host where the VM resides and the state of datastores that host VMs files. Information available in this section may help you estimate how the state of parent objects impacts the VM performance. Click the host or datastore link to drill down to the list of alarms for the host or datastore.

    Latest Alarms

    The list displays the latest 15 alarms for the VM.

    For more information on working with triggered alarms, see Working with Triggered Alarms.

    Business View Groups

    The section displays the list of categories and groups to which the VM is included.

    I want to report a typo

    There is a misspelling right here:

     

    I want to let the Veeam Documentation Team know about that.
