The

Insights

dashboard and

Alerts

tab pages provide the real-time capacity and related awareness information that you need to make management decisions in

VMware Aria Automation

without needing to open

VMware Aria Operations

. The information is supplied by the associated

VMware Aria Operations

application.

The

Insights

dashboard conveys information about capacity consumption across all computes within the cloud zone and grouped by projects. It can also show project deployments that are in need of optimization.

The

Alerts

pages displays potential capacity and performance concerns for objects such as cloud zones, projects, deployments, and virtual machines. They also contain information for project owners as to which of their deployments can be optimized. Each deployment link opens the

Optimize

tab in the deployment, where specific guidance is provided.

The following diagram illustrates the relationship between

VMware Aria Automation

resources and deployments, and the data that the associated

VMware Aria Operations

application provides in

VMware Aria Automation

.

The

Insights

dashboard, which is available on each cloud zone page, provides the following

VMware Aria Operations

metrics:

CPU, memory, and storage utilization usage as a percentage of capacity
Capability consumption summary
CPU and memory demand and usage history
Consumption across projects
Reclaimable resource capacity, with cost savings, for deployments and projects in a cloud zone

It also provides an option to alert project owners of deployments that can be optimized.

The

Insights

dashboard is available for

vSphere

and

VMware Cloud on AWS

cloud zones, provided that the cloud accounts are configured in both

VMware Aria Automation

and

VMware Aria Operations

and are being monitored in

VMware Aria Operations

.

For details, see: How to use the Insights dashboard to monitor resource capacity and notify project owners in VMware Aria Automation.

The

Alerts

pages provide the following filtering categories. Filtering categories are supplied by the associated

VMware Aria Operations

application.

Severity
Status
Impact
Type
Subtype
Resource

Each filter can be further refined using quick filters. For example, the resource filter can be further refined by its quick filter types of cloud zone, virtual machine, deployment, and project resource.

You use combinations of filters and quick filters to control which alerts are available for display.

Some

Alerts

provide information about, and a link to, deployments that can be optimized. An individual alert can provide the option to contact the project owner, examine an Insights dashboard, or take possible actions.

Alerts are available for

vSphere

and

VMware Cloud on AWS

resource objects.

For details about how to configure and use integrated alerts, see How to use Alerts to manage resource capacity, performance, and availability in VMware Aria Automation and How to use Alerts to optimize deployments in VMware Aria Automation.
