The virtual machines (VMs) present in a RHV server are monitored based on the parameters or the attributes listed below. These attributes provide information about the functioning of the VMs. You can also configure thresholds to the numerical attributes of the VMs based on these details.
The Availability tab lists all the virtual machines present in the RHV servers and their availability status. You can also view Availability history of the virtual machines for the past 24 hours or 30 days. The Performance tab shows some key performance indicators of the virtual machine including CPU Utilization, Memory Utilization, Disk I/O Utilization and Network Utilization along with heat charts for these attributes. This tab also shows the health status and events for the past 24 hours or 30 days.
The List view displays all the virtual machines discovered under each RHV server. This view provides an overall idea of the availability and health of all the virtual machines. The list view also enables you to perform bulk admin configurations. Click on the individual virtual machines listed to view detailed VM metrics.
The Top Virtual Machines tab shows graphs for the top CPU consumers, top memory consumers, top disk I/O consumers, and top network consumers of the RHV server. This section enables you to find out which virtual machines are consuming your server resources and take action accordingly.
Click on the individual monitors listed in the Availability tab to view detailed performance metrics of the corresponding virtual machine. These metrics are categorized into five separate tabs for easy understanding. Below is an explanation of the metrics shown in these tabs:
This tab provides a high-level overview of virtual machines running under RHV servers.
