  8. Dashboards & Badges

  9. Vc Ops vSphere UI – Unified Dashboard • Launching Pad • Click to Drill down • Focused on problems • Click to drill into details! • Almost everything is clickable • Main Themes • Health • Risk • Efficiency • New Concepts • Faults • Weekly Stress Profile • Reclaimable Waste • Density

  10. vC Ops vSphere UI – Two Different Users Short and Long Term Capacity Operations • Forward Looking • Are there areas that I should be concerned about from a capacity perspective? • Have I deployed my VI in the most efficient manner? • Immediate problems • What is happening right now? • What do I need to pay attention to?

  11. vC Ops Default UI – Major and Minor Badges • High level Understanding • Calculated from scores of Minor Badges Major x 3 • Specifics • Guidance Minor x 8

  12. Operations: Major Badge – Health • “How is this object doing right now?" • Identifies current problems in the system • Issues that need to be resolved immediately to avoid problems • High Health is good (100-0) • Heatmap • Provides quick view of many objects at once • Shows Health of all parent and child objects • Go back in time (6 hours) and see the “weather” of the Virt Infrastructure • Health Score is calculated from its Minor Badges • Workload • Anomalies • Faults

  13. 95 Operations: Health Minor Badge – Workload • Measures how hard an object is working? • High Workload is bad (0-100 or more!) • Percentage of Demand divided by effective capacity • As workload approaches (and exceeds) 100% • Performance Problems! • Starving object for resources! • Focused attention • CPU • Memory • Disk I/O • Network I/O • Improved Network and Disk I/O calculations • Eliminates idle networks and storage from showing High Workload • Limit the erroneous 100% Workload scores

  14. Operations: Health Minor Badge – Anomalies • Measures how normal is this object behaving? • Is what the vC Ops 1.x Health score was, but now inversed • Derived from the number of metrics that are outside of their “Normal” trended ranges • Learns dynamic ranges of “Normal” for each metric • Identifies metric abnormalities • Low Anomalies is good (0-100) • Zero meaning the object is performing exactly the way vC Ops expects it to for that time of the day, that day of the week • A high number of anomalies are usually an indication of a problem • Anomalies Chart • Current number of Abnormal Metrics • Problem/Noise Threshold • Crossing problem threshold will increase the Anomalies Score • Does not generate an alert in this vSphere UI

  15. Operations: Health Minor Badge – Faults • Best Practices: • Do not change the Faults Threshold • Use Alerts View to manage Faults • Faults shown in Widget • Measures the degree of faults or problems the object is experiencing • Pulled from active vCenter events • VMware specific knowledge of which vCenter Events affect Availability and Performance (examples): • Loss of redundancy in NICs or HBAs • Memory checksum errors • HA failover problems • Low Faults is good (0-100) • Each fault has a default score (e.g. 25, 50, 75, 100) • Highest individual Fault Score drives the Fault object Score

  16. Capacity Planning: Major Badge – Risk • Are there future risks to my systems and VI? • Identifies potential problems that could eventually hurt the performance • Low Risk is good (0-100) • Risk Score is calculated from its Minor Badges • Time Remaining • Capacity Remaining • Stress • Risk Chart • Shows Risk score over the last 7 days

  17. Capacity Planning: Risk Minor Badge – Time Remaining • Measures time remaining before each resource type reaches its capacity • CPU • Memory • Disk • Network I/O • Early warning of upcoming provisioning needs • Avoid future performance issues • High Time Remaining is good (100-0) • Graph shows resource utilization trends

  18. Capacity Planning: Risk Minor Badge – Capacity Remaining • Measures how many more VMs can be placed on the object • Percentage of Total VM “Slots” Remaining • Based on the average size of the VM on the object (e.g. VM profile) • Each object has its OWN VM profile size: Host, Cluster, Datacenter, Etc. • High Capacity Remaining is good (100-0) • Zero mean no room left for more VMs • 333 More VMs correlates to 77% Capacity Remaining for this object

  19. Capacity Planning: Risk Minor Badge – Stress • Stress measures long-term or chronic workload • Workload shows an instantaneous value • Stress looks over a longer period of time • Quickly find and resolve • Undersized objects • Population contention • Low Stress is good (0-100) • Stress score encompasses a six (6) week period • Workloads > 70% = “Stressed” • Threshold Configurable • Chart shows weeks break down of Stress for each day/hour averaged over the last six (6) Weeks

  20. Capacity Planning: Major Badge – Efficiency • Are there optimization opportunities in my systems? • How to run a leaner datacenter • Save $$$ by better utilizing resources • High Efficiency is good (100-0) • Efficiency Score calculated from Minor Badges • Reclaimable Waste • Density • Graph Depicts VMs by Percent • Optimal – Optimally Provisioned VMs • Waste – Over Provisioned VMs • Stress – Under Provisioned VMs • Not used in Efficiency Calculation (see Risk) • Three Resources Considered • CPU • Memory • Disk Space • Note: VMs can appear in Stress and Waste

  21. Capacity Planning: Efficiency Minor Badge – Reclaimable Waste • Measures the over-provisioning for an object • It identifies the amount of reclaimable resources • CPU • Memory • Disk • Low Reclaimable Waste is good (0-100) • Reclaimable Waste = Reclaimable Capacity / Deployed Capacity • Score depicts the MAX of the CPU, Memory and Disk calculation • Disk calculation can also include old snapshots and templates • Graph shows breakdown of the Waste section of the Efficiency Badge pie chart • % Idle VMs (based on configured settings) • % Powered Off VMs • % Oversized VMs

  22. Capacity Planning: Efficiency Minor Badge – Density • Contrasts Actual vs. Ideal Density • Identify Optimal Resource Deployment Before Contention Occurs • Greater Consolidation  $$$ • High Density is good (100-0) • Measures consolidation ratios: • VMs/Host Ratios • vCPU/Physical CPU Ratios • vMem/Physical Memory Ratios

  23. Dashboard Focus for VM and Datastore • Dashboard is focus driven • VM: • Health widget no longer has a heatmap as a VM has no children objects • Datastore: • Focused on disk metrics only • Stress & Density are not shown

  41. Smart Alerts – Overview • New Alerting Functionality • Smarts Alerts Available in EACH vC Ops Suite edition • Different Types of Smart Alerts • vSphere UI Badge Alerts • Threshold Based • Driven by Badge Color Change Thresholds • Only Alert on Minor Badges • Workload YES – Health NO • Good for Alerts on single objects (e.g. VM) • Custom UI Alerts • Can show vSphere UI Badge Alerts • Alerts driven by • Problem/Noise Threshold Anomaly Breaches • KPI Threshold Breaches • Very useful for groups of objects (e.g. Application Monitoring)

  42. Smart Alerts Details • Double click on an alert to see the details • Details view differs based on the alert type (e.g. Workload vs. Anomalies)

  43. Analysis Tab

  44. Analysis – Heatmaps • Heatmaps like in vC Ops Std 1.0 • We now have the Capacity badges and metrics available in the heatmaps • Examples: • Which Clusters are Healthy and have available Capacity? • Which hosts have a Low Workload and a low Density?

  47. vCM vC Ops Integration

  48. vCM  vC Ops : Change Events Correlated with Performance • Overview • Integration between vCM and vC Ops Mgr for change events • Overlay Guest OS configuration changes from vCM in vC Ops performance trend graphs • Launch in context into vCM to see full details of changes and potentially remediate them • Benefits • Enable Operations to quickly understand and resolve performance issues arising from configuration changes (reduce MTTR) • Drive efficient & effective troubleshooting by correlating Guest OS configuration changes w/ VM performance degradations
