3 Dashboards
The customized HP dashboards are available as tabs or from the DASHBOARDS menu in the
vCenter Operations Manager custom GUI.
The dashboards consists of customized widgets with customized interactions and several standard
widgets. You can modify the dashboards with additional standard widgets. To modify the
dashboard, see
“Editing a dashboard” (page 16) .
To open the custom GUI, in a browser window, log in to the vCenter Operations Manager custom
GUI as the admin user (for example: https://xx.xx.xx.xx/vcops-custom - where xx.x.xx.xx
is the IP address of the UI virtual machine).
Dashboard color coding
The widgets on the custom HP dashboards use the standard vCenter Operations Manager color
code to indicate the performance level of the resources. The status is determined by the software’s
analytics and can be a ranking from 0 to 100. Green indicates best performance, which is a status
100 for health or 0 for workload. Red indicates poorer performance, which is a status 0 for health
or 100 for workload.
