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 machine performance

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).
