Node Utilizations

This step explains how to manage the requester dashboard. The report displayed under requester dashboard shows machine level graph of CPU (MHz), memory (MB), disk in-out (Kbps), network in-out (Kbps) along with the status and state of the machine.

The objective of requester dashboard is to view the last 30- or 60-minutes statistics of VMs.

Report data is viewed based on the role of the logged in user.

  • User views the drill down details for specific VM as status of CPU/memory /hard disk.
  • User views CPU utilization, memory utilization, network utilization, disk I/O utilization for specific period (Date/Time) as data view or chart view.

To view the Requester Dashboard,

  1. On the main menu bar, click Reports→ Performance→ Utilizations.
  2. The Node Utilizations screen appears and allows the user to fill in the details in the form to get the report:
