Key Concepts: HEALTH – Immediate issues
Workload
• Measures demand for resource vs. effective capacity
• Low number is Good – Object has resources it needs
Anomalies
• Measures stats that are outside of their "normal",
trended ranges based on self-learns behavior
• Low anomalies is Good - less chance of problem
Faults
• Problems based on Hardware failures, HA issues etc.
• Low number is good – less issues!
Health: combines Workload, Anomalies and Faults to help admins
react to service impacting issues that need to be resolved immediately
![Page 20: VMworld 2013: How to Troubleshoot VM Performance Issues Across Applications, Infrastructure and Storage Using vCenter Operations Management (Live Demonstration!)](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042816/5599e2191a28ab3f318b4801/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Key Concepts: RISK – Future Issues
Time remaining
• Time left before resources are exhausted
• High number is good – enough capacity to meet
Capacity remaining
• How many more VMs can I fit with what I have
• High number is good – no need to provision more
capacity immediately
Stress
• Patterns of long-term or chronic strain
• Low number is good - resources are not strained
Risk: combines the scores of Time remaining, Capacity remaining and
Stress to help admins be proactive about building problems

Key Concepts: EFFICIENCY – Opportunities to Optimize
Waste
• Shows reclaimable waste - idle, over-sized and over-
provisioned resources
• Low number is Good – indicated low wastage
Density
• Compares current vs. optimal consolidation ratios of
VM, CPU and memory
• High number is good – indicates efficient use without
impacting performance
Efficiency: combines Waste and Density to highlight how to save cost
and maximize the use of resources.
