On the Home view dashboard, the Metrics tab provides an overview of the resources an enterprise is using on the platform. By default the platform displays the metrics for the current enterprise. To display metrics for another enterprise, select the enterprise or switch to it.
Enterprise resources and virtual datacenter resources
This panel shows statistics of the resources used by an enterprise in all accessible datacenters, or the selected virtual datacenter. It also displays soft limits and hard limits when used. The display will depend on the user's scope and privileges. If the user does not have the privileges to display enterprise statistics and limits, only the virtual datacenter statistics will be available.
Privilege: Display enterprise statistics, Display enterprise limits in statistics
By default, the statistics are updated at the interval set with the "Refresh interval for dashboard" parameter at Configuration View#Dashboard.
| 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. |
| 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 |
To view usage for an enterprise, select or switch to the enterprise, and select Enterprise from the dropdown list.
To view usage and limits for a single virtual datacenter, select Virtual datacenters from the dropdown list and then select one from the second dropdown list.

Events
Privilege: Display all events for current enterprise, Display all 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.
