Calculation of Recommendations
In this section you will learn how VirtualMetric calculates the recommendation under analysis.
CPU Recommendation
The CPU recommendation report shows the CPU usage of devices and the recommendations provided.
VM
CPU Limit (MHz)
Max Clock Speed * Processor Count * CPU Maximum / 100
MAX
CPU Usage (MHz)
(Max Clock Speed * Processor Count * CPU Maximum / 100) * Cpu Usage MHZ Percent/100
AVG
Recommended (MHz)
1.0 / 0.6 * Avg CPU Usage
Reclaimed (MHz)
Max CPU Limit - Recommended Limit MHz
Recommendation
â—† If Max CPU Limit - Recommended = 0 No Change â—† If Max CPU Limit > Recommended Decrease â—† If Max CPU Limit < Recommended Increase
VMWare & Host
CPU Limit (MHz)
Max Clock Speed * Processor Count
MAX
CPU Usage (MHz)
Average of Cpu Usage
AVG
Recommended (MHz)
1.0 / 0.6 * Avg CPU Usage
Reclaimed (MHz)
Max CPU Limit - Recommended Limit MHz
Recommendation
â—† If Max CPU Limit - Recommended = 0, No Change â—† If Max CPU Limit > Recommended, Decrease â—† If Max CPU Limit < Recommended, Increase
Memory Recommendation (VM, VMWare, Host)
The memory recommendation report shows the memory usage of devices and the recommendations provided.
Current Memory
Memory Capacity
AVG
Memory Usage
Memory Usage
AVG
Recommended (MB)
1.0 / 0.6 * Avg CPU Usage
Reclaimed (MB)
Memory Capacity - Recommended Limit
Recommendation
â—† If Memory Capacity - Recommended Limit = 0, No Change â—† If Memory Capacity > Recommended Limit, Decrease â—† If Memory Capacity < Recommended Limit, Increase
Powered off Report (VM, VMWare, Host)
The power-off report shows inactive devices and how long they have been offline.
Duration
Current Date - Power Off Since
Powered Off Since
Epoch
â—† When counter value returns 0, MAX â—† When counter value returns 1, MIN
Used Disk (MB)
Storage Used
MAX
Provisioned Disk (MB)
Total Storage
MAX
Idle Report (VM, VMWare, Host)
This report displays the idle machines in the environment. VirtualMetric checks the data from the last 14 days, and, if the ratio of hosts on a machine with
an average CPU use below 100 MHz -or-
an average IO use below 20 KB/s -or-
an average network use below 1 KB/s
is greater than 90%, then it flags that machine as idle on the report.
Duration
