User interface for managing monitoring profiles
First Claim
1. A method for displaying a graphical user interface for a virtualized computing environment including a plurality of host computers, each having one or more virtual machines running therein, wherein the virtualized computing environment is configured with one or more monitoring profiles for monitoring a status of objects included in the virtualized computing environment, the method comprising:
- displaying a first section that comprises one or more monitoring profiles to be managed and selected for viewing, wherein each monitoring profile includes one or more rules and each rule corresponds to one or more actions that are performed if the rule is violated, wherein the one or more actions are identified in the first section as one or more unique numeric values that are selectable by a user, wherein each of the one or more actions is represented by a unique number, wherein the first section includes a hierarchically-arranged view of the one or more monitoring profiles, wherein the one or more monitoring profiles are organized into a folder for cluster health profiles, a folder for data center health profiles, a folder for host computer health profiles, a folder for network health profiles, a folder for virtual center health profiles and a folder for virtual machine health profiles that are presented at the same hierarchy level, and wherein displaying the first section comprises;
receiving a user selection to create a monitoring profile;
receiving a selection of one or more conditions that define one or more metrics of an object that are monitored by the monitoring profile;
receiving a selection of one or more configuration parameters for each of the one or more conditions; and
receiving a selection of the one or more actions to be associated with the monitoring profile; and
displaying a second section that comprises a first set of rules associated with a selected monitoring profile and corresponding actions associated with each rule in the first set of rules.

Abstract
A graphical user interface for a virtualized computing environment that includes a plurality of host computers, each having one or more virtual machines running therein, where the virtualized computing environment is configured with one or more monitoring profiles for monitoring a status of objects included in the virtualized computing environment, where the graphical user interface includes a first section and a second section. The first section organizes the one or more monitoring profiles, where each monitoring profile includes one or more rules and each rule corresponds to an action that is performed if the rule is violated. The second section organizes a first set of rules associated with a selected monitoring profile and corresponding actions associated with each rule in the first set of rules.
