HP Insight Control Virtual Machine Management 7.3 User Guide

Performance information
These sections list information displayed on the Performance tab of the System Page for virtual
machine hosts and guests.
• To determine virtual machine host capacity and virtual machine workload characteristics, use
the performance information.
• To create alerts and log messages based on user-selectable performance values, use the
threshold settings.
Performance color codes
The color codes on the Performance tab indicate the percentage of a resource that has been
consumed. The colors of the utilization bar indicate the following conditions:
• Blue—memory and throughput.
• Green—utilization is less than 70%.
• Yellow—utilization is between 70% and 80%.
• Red—utilization is greater than 80%.
