VMs Growth

This report tracks how the number of VMs in your virtual environment has been changing during the reporting period. The report analyzes the amount of allocated resources, displays changes in the number of VMs, and shows how these changes influenced resource provisioning in the infrastructure.

For each added/removed VM, the report provides information on the location of the VM, its configuration properties, the date and time when the VM was added/removed, and displays the name of the user who initiated the change.
