About this task
The virtual machine health status is determined by processor,
memory, and storage metrics. The default threshold values that are
configured in this task activate after deployment. Existing virtual
machines are not updated when these values are changed. All
three metric types use the following default threshold values:
- If the value is at or above 80%, the health state is Warning.
- If the value is at or above 90% the health state is Critical.
- Otherwise, the health state is Normal.
If any of the metrics are in Warning state,
the virtual machine Status and Deployment status displays the secondary Warning status
if it is in the Running state. If any of the
metrics are in Critical state, the virtual
machine Status and Deployment status displays the secondary Critical status
if it is in the Running state.
