The following steps compare a single VM's Latency Total to the VMs reporting the Top 10 Latency Total in the entire virtual infrastructure.

Steps

  1. Add a widget with a line chart to the to the new dashboard: Widget > Line Chart

    1. Change the default device to Virtual machine: Click Storage > Virtual machine > Latency-total

      The widget displays the total Latency, for all VMs, for the default 24 hours in an area chart.

    2. Create a second display in this widget that shows Latency Total averaged for all VMs: Widget > Line chart

    3. Change the default device to Virtual machine: Click Storage > Virtual machine > Latency-Total

      The widget displays the Latency total for the default 24 hour period of time using a line chart.

    4. Click X on the Roll up bar and select Show > Top > 10

    The system displays the Top 10 VMs based on Latency - Total. guid 7fe726e3 d15f 438a 9d1f b02fb2daffe9

  2. Add the VM that you want to compare to the Top 10:

    1. Click +Add

    2. Change the default device to Virtual machine: Click Storage > Virtual machine > Latency total

    3. Click Filter by > Name > $var1

  3. Click Show legend

Results

A legend identifies each of the VMs under analysis. You can easily identify VM_Exchange_1 and determine if it is experiencing latency similar to the top ten VMs in the environment.
