Comparing performance trends in Sparkline view

Use the Sparkline view to analyze the health and performance of the resources in your monitoring environment. The Sparkline view displays performance reports for multiple nodes in the same pane for a quick comparison between different nodes. Display detailed performance metrics for each node and find the correlation with other nodes.

1. Navigate to the Sparkline view in one of the following ways:
   • On the Analytics tab, search for the target resources, and from the returned search results, select the target resources for analysis and click Show Sparkline View.
   • From the E2E View, select a resource, and then from the tool bar, click Sparkline View.
2. In the Sparkline view, analyze and compare the performance trends of the target and related resources. You can select more than one target resource for analysis.
   In the following example, analyze the performance trends of the VM and the associated server components. The VM and CPU display similar trends in the same time period, which confirms that the CPU is the component affecting the performance of the VM.

   

   Note:

   • The Sparkline view does not display the overall performance trends of Hypervisors and Storage Systems. However, you can analyze the performance of all associated components of hypervisors (such as, CPU, Memory, NIC, HBA, Disk) and storage systems (such as, port, processor, cache, pool, parity group) in the sparkline view.
   • You can add a maximum of 20 target resources (base point resources) in the Sparkline view, and display a maximum of 200 graphs.
3. To analyze data with finer granularity, select the graph, and click Show Performance from the menu.
   The performance window displays trends for the selected components.
