Calculation of Recommendations

PreviousLayout and Common FunctionsNextAdd New Widget

Last updated 6 months ago

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

Metric Name
Calculation
Statistical 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

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

Metric Name
Calculation
Statistical 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

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.

Metric Name
Calculation
Statistical Operation

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.

Metric Name
Calculation
Statistical Operation

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

All of the powered off reports have one common condition: State = 'Off' and Record Status > 0 and Since off > 0

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.
