•
Threshold interval
The number of minutes of utilization data averaged to calculate the measured
value.
•
Threshold value
The maximum utilization value that provides a Normal status.
•
Measured interval
The number of minutes of utilization data averaged to calculate the measured
value.
•
Measured value
The average utilization over the most recent measured interval.
•
State
The current state of the threshold. The state can be:
•
Unknown
Indicates that the number of utilization samples available is less than the threshold
interval.
•
Normal
Indicates that sufficient utilization samples are available, and the measured value
is less than or equal to the threshold value.
•
Exceeded
Indicates that sufficient utilization samples are available, and the measured
value is greater than the threshold value.

Virtual processor utilization (vCPU)
The CPU percentage consumed by the virtual machine
relative to the resource utilization. The Host Processor Utilization on 1 CPU value is reported
for VMware GSX Server and VMware Server.
•
Host processor utilization on
x CPUs
The CPU percentage consumed by the virtual machine
relative to the number of physical processors (
x) on which the virtual machine can execute.
•
Host processor utilization on all CPUs
The CPU consumed by the virtual machine, relative to the
total virtual machine host processors.
•
Memory utilization
The physical host used by the virtual machine. The utilization bar indicates
the virtual machine memory utilization as a percentage of the physical memory configured on the
virtual machine host (VMware ESX Server and Microsoft Virtual Server 2005).
•
Network throughput
The network traffic transmitted and received by the virtual machine. The
utilization bar indicates the virtual machine network throughput as a percentage of the total network
throughput on the virtual machine host (VMware ESX Server and Microsoft Virtual Server 2005).
•
Network transmit throughput
The network traffic transmitted by the virtual machine. The utilization
bar indicates the virtual machine Network Transmit Throughput as a percentage of the total network
throughput on the virtual machine host (VMware ESX Server and Microsoft Virtual Server 2005).
•
Network receive throughput
The network traffic received by the virtual machine. The utilization
bar indicates the virtual machine network receive throughput as a percentage of the total network
throughput on the virtual machine host (VMware ESX Server and Microsoft Virtual Server 2005).
