Summary

We covered four of the use cases you need. The first one is what you need as your daily check. Make it part of your standard operating procedure (SOP) so that the admin team gains insight into what's normal in your environment.

Make it clear if you think you need additional dashboards as part of your daily checks. Keep it simple so that you are not lost in a forest of screens and reports. From experience, customers who want more dashboards mistake monitoring with troubleshooting.

In the next chapter, we will cover capacity management in greater depth, as it is an area that is made more complex once you virtualize your data center.
