User dashboard

The Home view or Dashboard is usually the first screen you will see when you log in to Abiquo. It has Metrics, Hybrid, and Optimization tabs.

You can sort tables by columns by clicking on the columns in the header rows
To jump directly to a VM, virtual datacenter or virtual appliance, double-click on its Name or label.

Display dashboard metrics

On the Home view dashboard, the Metrics tab provides a general view of the resources currently being used by your virtual datacenters, as well as events.

The Enterprise resources - virtual datacenters panel shows statistics of the resources used by your virtual datacenters. Select the virtual datacenter name from the pull-down list

Statistics	Description
Virtual CPUs	Virtual CPUs used by VMs that are currently deployed
Storage	VM disks that are created on the hypervisor datastore. This includes non-persistent VM system disks and hard disks. These disks will be deleted when the VM is undeployed. Gigabytes of disks created on datastores.
Memory	Gigabytes of RAM used by VMs that are currently deployed
Ext. Storage	Volumes of storage created on integrated/managed iSCSI or NFS, or generic iSCSI storage devices. This includes volumes of persistent external storage and persistent VM system disks. Gigabytes of volumes created in VDCs.
VLANs	Private VLANs defined in Abiquo. A default private VLAN is always created when you create a virtual datacenter. Number of VLANS created in VDCs
Public IPs	Number of IP addresses purchased or reserved in public VLANs
Repository	NFS Repository space used by the enterprise in the Apps library including templates and instances but not conversions (GB). Available for enterprises only, not individual virtual datacenters
Virtual machines	Number of VMs deployed by the enterprise
DR protected virtual machines	Number of VMs protected by the disaster recovery service

Key to the graph:

Blue: Used resources
Orange: Soft limit
Red: Hard limit

Dashboard metrics tables
