Calculation of Recommendations

In this section you will learn how VirtualMetric is calculating the recommendation under analysis.

CPU Recommendation

The cpu recommendation report shows the cpu usage of devices and the recommendations provided by VirtualMetric.

VM

Metric NameCalculationStatistical Operation

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

◆ If Max CPU Limit - Recommended = 0 No Change

◆ If Max CPU Limit > Recommended Lower

◆ If Max CPU Limit < Recommended Increase


VMWare & Host

Metric NameCalculationStatistical Operation

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

◆ If Max CPU Limit - Recommended = 0, No Change

◆ If Max CPU Limit > Recommended, Lower

◆ 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 by VirtualMetric.

Current Memory

Memory Capacity

Recommended (MB)

1.0 / 0.6 * Avg CPU Usage

Reclaimed (MB)

Memory Capacity - Recommended Limit

Recommendation

◆ If Memory Capacity - Recommended Limit = 0, No Change

◆ If Memory Capacity > Recommended Limit, Lower

◆ 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 off.

Metric NameCalculationStatistical Operation

Duration

Current Date - Power Off Since

Powered Off Since

Epoch

◆ When counter value returns 0, MAX

◆ When counter value returns 1, MIN

Used Disk (MB)

Storage Used

MAX

Provisioned Disk (MB)

Total Storage

MAX

All of the powered off reports have common condition;

State = 'Off' and Record Status > 0 and Since off > 0


Idle Report (VM, VMWare, Host)

This report displays idle machines in the environment. The report checks data from 14 days ago, and if the following rules are met, it marks the machines as idle:

1) The proportion of host, which has average CPU MHz below 100, is greater than 90%.

2) The proportion of host, which has average IO below 20, is greater than 90%.

2) The proportion of host, which has average network kbps below 1, is greater than 90%.
