The Virtualization view allows users to view VMware related information in a hierarchical navigation model similar to vCenter. It is supported for VxRail clusters and storage-based VMs collected from the Observability Collector.
The left side of the screen shows the vCenter servers, the VMware datacenters, and the VxRail clusters or ESXi clusters. The upper right side provides a banner with a summary of clusters in each health category, a summary of alerts by severity, and a summary of VM status. ESXi clusters show up with a health score of Unknown. The Alerts summary is only applicable to VxRail Clusters. The summary is based on the selected object in the left tree. For example, if the All vCenter Servers row is selected, the banner shows all the clusters, alerts, and VMs in the environment. If an individual vCenter is selected, the banner summarizes only those clusters, alerts, and VMs in that vCenter.
The bottom-right side has three tabs: Summary, Alerts, and VMs. The Summary tab provides the health score (VxRail and PowerEdge), CPU, Memory, Capacity, number of VMs on each cluster, current version, location (VxRail), and a link to launch vCenter. The details icon opens a window with more details for the cluster and health issue details for VxRail clusters.
The Alert tab lists the associated alert information including the description and timestamp. The Details icon opens the alert details window which includes the recommended action.
The VMs tab lists the virtual machines with their state, CPU and Memory metrics, associated cluster, cluster type, vCenter, and ESXi server. The Details icon opens the VM details window which shows more specific capacity, CPU, and Memory metrics. For storage-based VMs, the storage path is provided showing datastore, type, storage object, and storage system.
