I use VMWare Dashboard to check availability for the ESXi and VMs. What affects the color of the displayed graph? As an example of ESXi uptime? Is it related to CPU and memory utilization or some other factors? In the settings for each widget display, some elements are not clear. Does "Result Limit" means the number of elements or lines? What is Nested Time and how does it affect?
How I rearrange the place of the displayed parameters on the dashboard?
How to restore the dashboard default settings??

Hi @EEHC .

 

What affects the color of the displayed graph?
- The colors are from generic standards green - normal, yellow - warning and red - critical
- These are defined by system and cannot be customized

 

As an example of ESXi uptime? Is it related to CPU and memory utilization or some other factors?
- This metric is received via performance monitoring (Event Type = PH_DEV_MON_SYS_UPTIME) . Usually via snmp, sdk protocol etc

Here are what I got:
In the settings for each widget display, some elements are not clear. Does "Result Limit" means the number of elements or lines?
>> There may be 100 results, but you can limit number of results to displayed on the widget which would generally mean number of lines to show.

 

What is Nested Time and how does it affect?
>> Nested Time would only effective in case nested query is in for dashboard widget as it is used for setting time for the inner query/report.

 

How do I rearrange the place of the displayed parameters on the dashboard?
>> Just click on the top side of a widget and drag to re-arrange it's place

 

HOW TO RESTORE THE DASHBOARD DEFAULT SETTINGS?
>> There is no way to restore back to default dashboard setting. However, you can always export the dashboard (by clicking on down arrow button from top right corner of dashboard) before making any modification so that in case you want to restore, import
(click up arrow button) the exported file to restore the settings.
