The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Cisco UCS Director monitors the virtual infrastructure and system resources by displaying a wise array of tabular, graphical, and map reports.
These reports help you understanding system details and provide insight into how the system is performing.
Tabular Reports—System information, such as overview, host nodes, new VMs, and deleted VMs.
Bar and Pie Graphs—Comparisons, such as active vs. inactive VMs, provisioned vs. capacity CPU, and so on.
Trend Graphs—System resources, such as CPU trend, memory trend, and VM additions and deletions.
Top five Reports—Groups with the most VMs, vDCs with the most VMs, vDCs with the most CPU usage, vDCs with the most memory usage, and vDCs with the most disk usage.
Map Reports—Heat maps and color-coded maps, such as CPU utilization map, VM density, inactive VMs, and storage usage.
