The health of your hosts is one of the major elements of your cluster that can seriously affect its efficiency. Healthy hosts mean better throughput and a more stable production environment.
Your cluster view gives you a quick look at the health of your entire cluster at a glance. Use the Hosts by State and Hosts by CPU Utilization charts in the Cluster Health area to monitor how your hosts are doing and how hard they are working.
Beneath these charts, you can see the health of your master host and your master candidates if you have specified any. For your master host health, rest your mouse over the icon for a detailed description of its real-time attributes or click on the icon for detailed information about that particular host.

For your cluster to be healthy and working efficiently, your hosts have to be running or available to run workload units. They must also be able to run workload units at an acceptable CPU utilization level. Use the Platform Management Console to monitor for
Either of these indicators means that your cluster is not running as efficiently as possible and may need some attention.
Only you can decide what the optimal CPU utilization level is for your workload. In some cases, 90% is acceptable and in others 70% is good. Try to recognize the level at which your hosts are attaining the highest CPU utilization level without becoming frequently unavailable.
