Today we'll take a look at some
examples of VMware reports.
The first report below looks
at the CPU usage of clusters in MHz. It is a simple chart and this makes it
very easy for your audience to understand.
VMware – CPU Usage
all Clusters
You can immediately see who
the biggest user of the CPU is, Core site 01.
The next example is a trend
report on VMware resource pool memory usage.
VMware – Resource Pool Memory Usage Trend
The light blue indicates the
amount of memory reserved and the dark blue line indicates the amount of memory
used within that reservation. This information is then trended going forward,
allowing you to see at which point in time the required memory is going to
exceed the memory reservation.
A trend report like this is
useful as an early warning system, you know when problems are likely to ensue
and can do something to resolve this before it becomes an issue.
We need to keep ahead of the
game and setting up simple but effective reports, provided automatically, will
help you to do this and to report back to the business regarding requirements
well in advance.
On Friday I’ll show you one final report on VMware, which looks at headroom
available in the Virtual Center and then summarize my series.
