# Microsoft Hyper-V Top Objects

The top and lowest load dashboards help you detect VMs and hosts consuming the greatest or the smallest amount of resources in the selected virtual infrastructure segment.

- **Top Hyper-V VMs** dashboard displays top VM consumers in terms of CPU, memory, storage, network usage, snapshot age and size.
- **Top Hyper-V Hosts** dashboard displays top hosts in terms of CPU, memory, disk and network usage.
- **Bottom Hyper-V Hosts** dashboard displays least loaded hosts in terms of CPU, memory, disk and network resource usage.

  You can use this dashboard to choose hosts where you can deploy new VMs or to which you can move existing VMs.

To detect the most or least loaded hosts or VMs:

1. Open Veeam ONE Client.

   For details, see [Accessing Veeam ONE Components](access.md).

2. At the bottom of the inventory pane, click **Virtual Infrastructure**.
3. In the inventory pane, select the necessary infrastructure container.
4. Open the **Top Objects** tab and navigate to necessary dashboard — **Top Hyper-V VMs**, **Top Hyper-V Hosts** or **Bottom Hyper-V Hosts**.
5. Click the **Change Options** link in the top left corner of the dashboard.

   - In the **Interval** field, set the time interval for which resource utilization statistics must be analyzed.
   - In the **VMs to display/Hosts to display** field, define the number of objects to display on the dashboard.

6. Click the **Select Counters** link in the top left right corner of the dashboard.

   1. In the **Select counters** window, choose metrics that must be included in the dashboard. Press and hold the `[SHIFT]` or `[CTRL]` key on the keyboard to select multiple counters. 
   2. Click **OK**.
