Monitor Cluster Capacity

VMware Aria Operations plugin in vCenter Server enables you to monitor and analyze details such as hosts, VMs, time remaining, and capacity remaining on each cluster.

View and Analyse Cluster Usage

You can view all the clusters associated with vCenter that is added as an endpoint in Aria Operations. You can also view details such as hosts, VMs, time remaining, and capacity remaining of the resources (CPU, Memory, and Storage) for each cluster.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the vSphere Client.
  2. Select VMware Aria Operations from the main menu.
  3. Monitor and analyze the vCenter cluster usage
    1. In the Capacity Overview panel, you can view the overall information of inventory objects at the vCenter Server level. You can view the number of data centers, clusters, hosts, virtual machines, and resource pools for the vCenter Server.
    2. In the Time Remaining panel, you can view the number of days remaining until the cluster reaches its usable capacity.
    3. In the Capacity Remaining panel, you can keep track of the operational capacity remaining on each cluster. VMware Aria Operations computes the capacity remaining based on the resources (CPU, Memory, and Storage) utilization trend.
    4. In the All Clusters panel, click the >> icon to view the detailed information for each cluster.
