Features and functions		Description	Related topics
System dashboard	Resource summaries	Present real-time host and VM states in tables and graphics to help you quickly gain a holistic view of resource usage across the platform. Present system health, host and VM state statistics, usage of resources (CPUs, memory, and storage), storage cluster capacity, and system alarms. Present top five hosts and VMs by their CPU, memory, and storage usage.	Cloud resource dashboard
System dashboard	Full-screen display		Cloud resource dashboard
Software and hardware performance monitoring	Host hardware monitoring	Monitor the operating state and performance of host hardware. In addition, CAS CVM monitors storage, physical NICs, GPUs, and storage controllers in real time.	Display hardware monitoring information for a host
	Performance monitoring	Monitor hosts, VMs, and storage clusters and resource usage in the virtualized environment. View resource usage and performance statistics for a host. These statistics include the CPU usage, memory usage, disk I/O throughputs, IOPS, and usage of the shared file system. View resource usage and performance statistics for a VM. These statistics include the CPU usage, memory usage, disk I/O throughput statistics, network throughputs, IOPS, disk I/O delay, disk usage, and partition usage.	Display performance monitoring information about a host Display VM performance monitoring information
	VM processes and services monitoring	Monitor active programs, processes, and services on VMs to provide their resource usage statistics. You can obtain the username, process ID and process name of each process and their CPU usage, memory usage, and used memory capacity.	Display VM process monitoring information
Virtualization topologies	Compute topology	Display the relationship between clusters and hosts as well as hosts and VMs. You can view the alarms for the hosts and VMs and the CPU usage, memory usage, and shared storage usage of each cluster.	Display the compute topology
	Network topology	Display the connections between vSwitches and VMs as well as port profile and traffic monitoring information for the ports that connect the vNICs to the vSwitches.	Display the network topology
	Storage topology	Display the connections between hosts and storage as well as between VMs and storage. You can view detailed information about storage nodes.	Display the storage topology
Logs	Operation log	The operation log records all operations done in CAS CVM. You can review the operation log to audit user behavior and analyze issues. For example, you can review the operation log to identify the operator of an unscheduled operation and do an investigation.	Manage operation logs
	Log collection	Collect logs about CAS CVM and its managed hosts and download the log files. For example, you can collect logs about a malfunctioning host and send the log files to technical support for help if the issue persists.	Collect log files
	Audit log	Record the operations that all operators have performed on CVM. Audit logs include operation audit logs, physical resource audit logs, and virtual resource audit logs.	Manage audit logs
	Task console	The task console provides quick access to the most recent tasks. When you execute a task, for example, start a VM, the task console automatically opens to show the task execution progress. If the task fails, the task console displays the failure cause to help you troubleshoot the issue.	To open the task console, click its icon at the top right of the page.
