Trend Chart

The Trend Chart window displays:

The trend chart on the Trend Chart window displays the utilization percentage for CPU and memory, and the throughput percentage for network. It also displays the storage I/O utilization in Megabits per second (Mbps). You can view the Average, Peak, and 95 percentile utilization values.

Note: The 95th percentile methodology is to identify both the regular and sustained utilization. By using the 95th percentile data, occasional bursts in load can be ignored to provide a more accurate capacity demand, compared to average or peak utilization.

SHO provides a quick search option enables you to enter an entity name (or parts of an entity name) and view the trend analysis chart for the entity. An entity could be a VM, VM host, Cluster, Datastore, Datastore Cluster, VMware Data Center, Business Service, Business Application, HPOM Node Group, or Custom Group.

To search for an entity using the Entity Search feature:

  1. Click Search on the Trend Chart window. The Entity Search window opens.

    Note: You can also access the Entity Search window from the menu bar on the SHO Users' Interface.

    To do so, exit the Trend Chart window, click Search > Entity Search on the menu bar of the SHO Users' Interface.

  2. In the Name field, enter the entity name or part of the entity name.
  3. From the Type Filter drop-down list, select the entity type.
  4. Click Search. The table below the Search button displays the search results.
  5. Select the entities for which you want to view the trend chart.
  6. Click Select to open the trend chart.

    Click Close to close the Entity Search window without opening the trend chart.
