VM Server Detail
Detail reports are related to a specific enterprise object, such as a backup job. You can only access detail reports through a link presented in the context of a main report, providing additional information that augments the main report. Detail reports cannot be generated, customized, or saved, as they are specific to the report from which they were derived. They are not available in search results.
Explore your data center using APTARE IT Analytics customizable report templates or by using parts of your IT infrastructure as entry points. Use Search to find reports, templates and dashboards across the portal.
Use the Reports tab to examine the APTARE IT Analytics catalog of templates, dashboards and reports - organized by products along with user-created, and system folders. The main report is located here:
Click the Name link.
Note: VMware Tools (VM Tools) must be installed to enable collection of the IP address, host name, mount points, disk path, available space on VM guest volumes, and guest operating system of the VM.
VM Server Detail

Host Details by Source
Hosts can be collected by any number of sources such as vendor products. This table lists the details that have been collected by a vendor product so that you can validate the collected details.
Display Name
Name that is displayed in reports.
Host Name

Source
A specific source such as vendor product (subsystem) from which host data was collected; for example, VMware.
Date Created
The date and time the host was created in the Portal database.
Last Updated
The date and time the host data was updated in the Portal database.
OS Platform
Operating system of the host, as collected from this vendor product; for example, Windows Server 2008 R2.
OS Version

Data Collection Options and VM Server Detail
If this report is accessed via a drilldown from another report, the values shown represent the type of data collection that was configured to collect this data.
A Virtualization Manager data collection policy can be configured to gather data as follows:
• Inventory (default option): Collect only the data associated with the VMs in the inventory.
• Collect all files in datastore: Perform a full scan of the datastore to discover files that are resident on the datastore, but not associated with a VM in the inventory. This option finds files that may be invisible to VMware, but that are consuming space on the datastore.
When the Inventory option is configured in the data collector policy, it has the following impact on fields shown in this report:
• VM Not In Inventory will be zero.
• Total VM Used will be reduced by the amount that would have been collected as VM Not In Inventory if an all files collection had been done.
When the Collect all files in datastore option is configured in the data collector policy, it has the following impact on fields shown in this report:
• The Last Modified date will be missing for files not found in the datastore scan.
