We use vSphere 5.5 and vCenter 5.5 and vCenter Operation Manager 5.8.
Under one vCenter server, it has around 40 ESXi hosts and 550 VM guests and 90 datastores.
We introduced vCenter Operation Manager for capacitiy management of VM guests and VM hosts and Storage system to understand
system resource usage and usage trends of each VM guests and VM hosts and Storage System and to prevent system trouble and take proactive
preventive action.
We have vCenter Operations Management Suite 5.6 Advanced license but we do not make good use of vSOM at all.
I took a glance of
vCenter Operations Manager
Getting Started Guide 5.6.
Our first goal is to understand
system resource usage and usage trends of important VM guests and VM hosts and Storage System and to prevent system trouble and take proactive preventive action, at first
only for important servers.

I found some Low Health ESXi hosts and drilled down, but how could I find the cause of Low Health of ESXi hosts ?
How about for Low Health VM guests and Datastore ?
