vROPS Custom Dashboard for Tracking VM Growth Over X Days

 

Custom Dashboard for Tracking VM Growth

Creating a view which shows the change over a time frame

Create a new view, and provide a name

Select “list” for presentation

Click Next

• Under Subjects, select under vCenter Adapter > Virtual Machine

I clicked 4 times on Virtual Machine Used, to add 4 Data type Metric and then rename

the Metric label

Disk Used (Current)

This metric stays the same, showing the current disk usage of the VM.

I just altered the metric label.

Disk Used (10 days ago)

This metric is the same as the above, however I edit the configuration under transformation

selecting the

“expression option”.

For the expression formula I simply choose first.

This configuration will show the metric that has first been recorded in this view.

How do we ensure this shows the data from 3 days ago? Or 7 or 14 or 21, or

whatever you want?

We use Time Settings Tab to control this,

which is discussed further on.

• Change (GB)

This metric gives us the change between todays value and the value as of 3 days ago

(or whatever time frame you set)

Again, we are doing something similar as above by using the expression formula feature.

The math is simple = Current (metric recorded) minus First (metric recorded).

• Change (%)
  This last metric will use a slightly more advanced settings and calculations
• to give us the percentage of change.
  I set the sort order to Descending, to show the largest value’s first.
  This will mean my view will show the VMs with the largest data growth
• over X days first.
• 
  Once again, I use a transformation expression to work out the percentage.
  Current value minus the First recorded value.
  Divide the output by the first value and multiple by 100 to give me.
• the change in a percentage.
  I then also set some metric coloring. So,
• if the percentage change is 30% or higher,
• it will show as red.
