Analyze Host Storage Usage

You can analyze your host’s storage utilization by using the Host Resource Analytics application to view and compare detailed storage information across one or more hosts.

From this application, you can:

• Identify a host’s resource utilization percentage. For example, high utilization is a warning to consider increasing the host’s maximum storage capacity.

• Group and sort hosts by a specific attribute. For example, you can group hosts according to cost center, operating system, lifecycle status, or target version, and identify the hosts with the most used storage.

• View the current storage utilization of your hosts. Select one or more hosts for further analysis.

• Identify past trends and view a forecast of future storage needs for the hosts that you have selected.

• Download the data in CSV format.
