Explanation

The Analysis page in Prism Element provides the most flexible and comprehensive performance investigation tool. An administrator can create a custom entity chart targeting the specific VM and overlay multiple metrics (CPU, memory, disk I/O, network throughput, latency, etc.) on a single time-series graph. This side-by-side view of all relevant metrics makes it easy to correlate spikes or anomalies across dimensions and identify the root cause of performance degradation. While the VM Performance tab (D) shows some metrics, the Analysis page offers a richer, more customizable view suited to deep troubleshooting.
