        How to Exclude a Datastore from the View

        There may be datastores under your hypervisor for which you don't need monitoring and which may add unnecessary data to your view.

        To exclude any datastores from monitoring:

        1. In the organization tree, right-click the hypervisor whose datastores you want to exclude from this view's data and select Properties.
        2. In the Excluded Datastores field, specify the datastores that you want excluded from monitoring. Separate multiple values with a comma. You can also use an asterisk * as a wildcard value.
        Note

        This field appears only for those hypervisors that have datastores.

        1. Reconnect to the hypervisor for the changes to take effect.

        vSAN Build Recommendation

        This check detects any configuration issues in the vSAN build recommendation engine

        vSAN Cluster Health

        This check verifies that all ESXi hosts have the vSAN Health Service VIB installed

        vSAN Congestions

        Congestions of IOs generated by all vSAN clients in the cluster

        vSAN Data Health

        This check provides a cluster wide overview by summarizing all objects in the cluster and categorizes object health to help you assess not only if an object is healthy or unhealthy, but what it means to the user, whether he should take action, whether he is at risk, and so on

        vSAN Disk Configuration

        vSAN disk configuration (Hybrid or All Flash)

        vSAN Free Capacity

        vSAN space available for new allocations.For parent folder, the value displayed belongs to the vSAN cluster with minimum free space

        vSAN Hardware Compatibility Health

        This check verifies whether the storage I/O controller firmware is compatible with the controller on the ESXi host and the version of ESXi

        vSAN Health

        Summary of all vSAN health checks

        vSAN Limits Health

        This check looks at free disk capacity and ensures that the components per host limit has not been exceeded, and that there is some flash read cache capacity remaining

        vSAN Network Health

        This check tests that all ESXi hosts in a vSAN cluster have been configured so that all vSAN VMkernel NICs are on the same IP subnet

        vSAN Online Health
