Custom VM Summary Dashboard

All Object Types in VCF Operations have a Summary Page, the default VM Summary Page looks like this.

But maybe you have a favorite Dashboard you'd like to use instead, here's how you can do that (screenshots taken from VCF Operations 9). Go to Infrastructure Operations - Dashboards & Reports - Manage - three dots.

Select Manage Summary Dashboards.

Select the Adapter Type from the dropdown that is capturing the Object Type you'd like to adjust the Summary Page on, in this case it will be vCenter as we're adjusting the VM Summary Page.

These are the default Summary Pages for each Object Type. To change the one for VMs, select the Virtual Machine line, then select the gauge icon in the toolbar.

You will then be presented with a list of available Dashboards.

Let's select VM Details v4, then click OK.

You'll now notice the VM Object Type is bound to this new Dashboard, click SAVE. Now when you go to a VM Summary Page you'll see this.

If you like this Dashboard, you can get it here. You'll notice the top left widget I have Self Provider turned off, this allows it to be auto-populated by the VM in question. You can do this same thing for any Object Type you'd like, enjoy!
