Analyze Virtual Machine CPU and Memory Usage

You can analyze your virtual machine’s CPU and memory utilization by using the Host Resource Analytics application to view and compare detailed CPU and memory information across one of more virtual machines.

From this application, you can:

  • View usage analytics grouped by date and time.

  • Identify a virtual machine’s capacity and utilization of resources. For example, high utilization is a warning to consider increasing the virtual machine’s allocated resources so as to avoid negatively impacting the virtual machine’s performance.

  • View the current CPU and memory utilization of your virtual machines. Select one or more for further analysis.

  • Conduct time-series analysis and view the trend of resource utilization of your virtual machines, and forecast values for a specific time period.

  • View the mapping from Virtual Platforms to VMs (that is, view which VMs are running on that particular Virtual Platform).

Note:

Data is displayed for the time selected from the global time selector. If no time range is selected, then data is displayed for the last 30 days. Use the time editor to alter the time period for which data is displayed. You can select a predefined time period or specify a custom one to filter the available data.
