VMware Cloud Management and Automation Fundamentals — Question 65

A vSphere administrator wants to monitor the CPU usage of all virtual machines (VMs) in a specific host cluster using alarms.
Which sequence of actions should the administrator use?

Answer options

• A. Click on the VMs folder and add an alarm.
• B. Click on the cluster and add an alarm.
• C. Click on the ESXi host and add an alarm.
• D. Click on individual VMs and add an alarm.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct action is to select the cluster and add an alarm, as this allows for monitoring all VMs within that cluster collectively. Adding alarms to individual VMs or the ESXi host would only provide monitoring for those specific entities, rather than the entire cluster.
