Monitor host health from the dashboard

You can only access the dashboard if you are logged in as a cluster administrator or a consumer administrator.

You can get complete information about hosts from the dashboard.

  1. Use your dashboard to monitor the hosts in your cluster.

    The pie chart gives you visual cues about the ratio of the states of all the hosts in your cluster.

    The CPU Utilization chart gives you a visual summary of the hosts in your cluster by how may hosts share CPU utilization ranges.

  2. From the dashboard, in the Cluster Health area, click one of the states under Hosts by State (for example, the host state OK).

    The Hosts (Icon View) page displays the information about the hosts in that particular state.

    To view all hosts (regardless of state), click the heading Hosts by State.
    Note:

    If you have previously filtered hosts on the Hosts (Icon View) or Hosts (List View) pages, clicking Hosts by State only returns those hosts matching the filtered state.

  3. Locate the host you want information about.

    Use Filter Settings to search for a specific host by name or to narrow down your search quickly by filtering the hosts by type, state, process priority or CPU utilization.

  4. Rest your mouse over the icon to display abbreviated information about the host.
  5. For more information about a particular host, click the host icon or toggle to Hosts (List View).

    You can sort hosts by clicking on a column header or using Preferences.

    You can also retrieve and view log files located on a particular host by clicking the corresponding Actions > Retrieve Logs.
