VM Detail (Hyper-V)

Detail reports are related to a specific enterprise object, such as a backup job. You can only access detail reports through a link presented in the context of a main report, providing additional information that augments the main report. Detail reports cannot be generated, customized, or saved, as they are specific to the report from which they were derived. They are not available in search results.

Explore your data center using IT Analytics customizable report templates or by using parts of your IT infrastructure as entry points. Use Search to find reports, templates and dashboards across the portal. For Virtualization Manager data collection, VMware Tools (VM Tools) must be installed to enable collection of key properties of a VM Guest, such as the IP address, host name, mount points, disk path, available space on VM guest volumes, and guest operating system of the VM. Whenever data collection cannot retrieve a host name, a VM Guest will not be treated as a host in the Inventory and Virtualization Manager reports will not be populated with host details. For example, a host name may not be available in the following situations: the VM may be down, VM Tools may not be installed on the VM Guest, or a VM template may have been collected.
