    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; I am still trying to understand and learn VCOPs. I set up a Folder consisting of two servers. Both are 4 CPU 8GB servers. One runs at 100% all the time the other does nothing so it runs at a very low utilizaiton.&amp;nbsp; When I look at the dashboard for the folder, the Health shows it at 100. The Workload is correct it sees that 50% of is used but how can the health be 100 when one of the servers is maxed out? I am confused.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="Image 1.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/56701iFA331A18B491C8BD/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Image 1.png" alt="Image 1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Roger&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Dynamic Thresholds.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If running at 100% all the time is fine and expected, vCops won't see it as an Anomaly.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Possibly .. probably - if the server drops utilization low, it will see that as outside of its Dynamic Threshold, register an anomaly, and decrements the health.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If the other server picks up a load, that will also be an anomaly.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Actually these two servers had been running for about 3 months both with predictable workloads. One was running 3 minutes peaks of 100% followed by 3 minutes of idle. The other was running 6 minute peaks followed by 6 minutes of idle. So when I changed one to idle and the other to 100% all the time, by your logic it should have sent the overall health into a tailspin, however it did not. In fact It looked completely heathy even though there were clearly significant anomolies. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;To further explore this logic, I simply switched the workloads. So the idle server went to 100% and the the 100% server went to idle. This did reduce the health but it still showed one of the servers as green (the one that had been red). Again this should have been considered a problem because it was not what was predicted. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="Capture.PNG"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/56718i013366E64D4C3332/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Capture.PNG" alt="Capture.PNG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So I am still left wondering what it is doing an why? I really need to be able to validate the results before we put this in production and so far it has been very hard to set up predictable tests. I haven't been able to find any documented test lab studies for the product either. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
