Use the vSphere daily check dashboard to monitor the live operations of the vSphere clusters in your VMware Aria Operations environment.

Use the vSphere Daily Check dashboard to review the health and performance of the vSphere clusters in your VMware Aria Operations environment. The dashboard displays the critical and important alerts that need immediate attention. You can use this dashboard to prevent or minimize alerts for the next 12 to 24 hours. This dashboard focuses on the daily activities of the environment and provides updates based on changes or alerts in the clusters. The dashboard reflects the following changes in your environment:
  • Configuration changes
  • Consumption changes: Any unexpected increase or sudden decrease in consumption.
  • Supply changes. Any unexpected decrease in supply.
  • Dynamic changes: Any VM state, VM location, or VM inventory changes.

Use the dashboard to focus on issues that need immediate attention and resolution for proper functioning of your environment. You can adjust the thresholds and parameters to suit your need and add metrics like error logs to customize the dashboard.

This dashboard complements the alerts triggered in your environment and provides insights into the cause of the alerts and also shows the overall picture. This helps troubleshoot the specific issue without disrupting the whole environment. As part of the daily checks, the following areas are covered:
  • Availability: Daily checks cover the availability of powered on VMs and ESXi hosts. The numbers reflected should be within the expected range. For example, if a new cluster is added or if several new VMs have been provisioned the day before, the dashboard should reflect the revised available of the VMs and ESXi hosts.
  • Performance: Daily checks cover the average performance of consumers (VMs) and providers (compute, network, storage). For example, the dashboard monitors the total CPU, memory, disk, and network utilization as any sudden increase or decrease in performance can cause issues.
  • Compliance: Daily checks cover the compliance status and focuses on the present status. The present status covers the past 12 to 24 hours.
  • Configuration: Daily checks cover the changes in settings and make sure that the settings match the authorized changes executed during the change window.
