Compreender a interface vScope (EN)

Objective

OVHcloud provides you with a supervision and monitoring tool for your virtual machines and infrastructure: vScope.

This web interface gathers all the essential information about your resources.

This guide explains how to read and use the vScope interface.

Requirements

• You must be an administrator contact of the Hosted Private Cloud infrastructure, in order to receive login credentials.
• An active user ID (created in the OVHcloud Control Panel).

Instructions

Accessing vScope

1. In the OVHcloud Control Panel, click Hosted Private Cloud.

2. In the left-hand menu, click Managed VMware vSphere.

3. Select your PCC service.

4. In the General information tab, scroll down and click the vScope link.

The interface opens in a new tab in your browser.

Log in with your user and password - the same credentials you use to connect to the vSphere client.

You are now connected to vScope. This page centralises the key information about your resources.

For example, for each host, you can immediately view:

• The number of cores and VMs
• CPU and RAM usage
• Network traffic

Browsing vScope

Selecting the datacenter

If your Hosted Private Cloud contains several datacenters, select the one you want to display from the drop-down menu.

The Last refresh field corresponds to the last refresh of the web page, not of vScope data. vScope data is automatically updated every 2 to 5 minutes.

Filer menu

The Filer menu shows the usage of your datastores: number of virtual machines and consumed storage space.

Use this view to anticipate extension needs or monitor load balancing.

Hosts menu

The Hosts menu details the characteristics of each host in your datacenter:

• Number of cores, vCPUs and VMs
• CPU and RAM usage percentages
• Network connectivity
• Number of physical network cards (VMNic)

Virtual machines menu

This section provides a detailed view of each virtual machine:

• Status of VMware Tools
• Network traffic
• VM size
• FT (Fault Tolerance) activation
• CPU Ready Time
• Disk IO
• Disk latency
