The Home view dashboard displays the cloud resource usage on the Metrics, Hybrid, and Optimization tabs. By default it is the first screen you will see when you log in. To return to this view from any other screen, click the Home "Q" icon. By default the Metrics tab displays; enable the Hybrid and Optimization tabs on Configuration View#Dashboard.

To jump to a virtual datacenter or VM double click on its name in the Virtual datacenters or VMs table.
Selecting an enterprise
To display the dashboard statistics of an enterprise, click on the enterprise in the Enterprise list. The name of the selected enterprise will display above the dashboard panels.
To switch to another enterprise to administer that enterprise, click the switch enterprise button beside a name in the enterprise list. The name of the enterprise that you are currently using will be displayed beneath your username in the top right-hand corner of the screen. When you log out and log in again, the enterprise will not be reset by the platform. All your actions with virtual datacenters, virtual appliances, VMs and VM templates will apply to the current enterprise until you switch to another enterprise. Note that if your environment has a user management system, such as LDAP or OpenID, then the enterprise will be reset on login.
Metrics panel
The metrics panel provides an overview of the resources an enterprise is using in the platform. Select an enterprise or switch to it to display the metrics for the enterprise.
Enterprise resources
This panel shows statistics of the resources used by the current or selected enterprise and/or the selected virtual datacenters in all the accessible datacenters. The view will depend on the user's scope and privileges. See Enterprise Statistics and Virtual Datacenter Statistics for more information.
Privilege: Display enterprise statistics, Display enterprise limits in statistics
By default, the statistics are updated at the interval set in Configuration View on the Dashboard page of the System Properties tab with the "Refresh interval for dashboard" parameter.

Events
This is a condensed view of the Events view logs. It is controlled with the same privileges as the Events view, so if the user has no events privileges, no events window will display here. Otherwise, the window will display all events for the enterprise or all events, depending on the user's role, privileges and scope.
You can filter the events by severity, including All, ERROR, INFO, and WARN.
Click on an event to open the event in a popup.
