An administrator is assigned the task of configuring a custom dashboard within VMware Cloud Foundation Operations to monitor CPU, memory, and disk usage metrics across all VMs in a specific workload domain, with the ability to extract detailed usage data in CSV format. Which view type should the administrator use?
Answer
- A. List View Correct
- B. Scoreboard View
- C. Object Relationship View
- D. Trend View
Explanation
The administrator should use a List View. In VCF Operations, views present collected information for objects depending on the selected view type, and the View widget can be added to custom dashboards to display operational data that is relevant to dashboard users. A List View is specifically designed to provide tabular data about selected objects in the monitored environment, where each object appears as a row and the selected metrics or properties appear as columns. This directly satisfies the requirement to monitor CPU, memory, and disk usage across all VMs in a workload domain because the administrator can select Virtual Machine as the subject and add the required usage metrics as columns. The documentation also states that the View widget supports Export as CSV, and that views can be exported in CSV format. Scoreboard is best for current metric tiles, Object Relationship is for topology, and Trend View is for historical trends and forecasts, not detailed tabular extraction.Reference topic: Objective 4.10 – Creating Custom Dashboards, Views and Reports / Create a View / List View / View Widget Export as CSV.
