Virtual Machine Guest Overview

The Virtual Machine Guest Overview dashboard lists the virtual machine objects reported by the management extender through the VMware API. The dashboard correlates the virtual machine object with the BigFix object. From the list, you can view which machines have the BigFix agents deployed in it.

Note: Before you use the Virtual Machine Guest Overview dashboard, you must activate the following analyses: Virtual Guest Information, Virtual Machine Guest Information - Virtual Machines with BigFix Client, and Virtual Machine Host Information.

Select the All Systems domain in the console. From the navigation tree, click Virtual Endpoint Management > Setup and Configuration > Guest VM Overview.
