VM Guest On-Prem Right-Sizing Detail by Host
Use this report to analyze the historical usage patterns of both memory and CPU over a period of time. From this data, determine the maximum amount of memory and CPU used over that time frame. Compare the maximum used with the actual configured memory and apply the delta to determine the right size of the VM.
Use the Reports tab to examine the catalog of templates, dashboards and reports - organized by products along with user-created, and system folders. This report is located here:
Table: VM Guest On-Prem Right-Sizing Detail by Host
Column name | Description |
|---|---|
|
VM Guest |
It is the logical server running on a VM server, also known as a VM instance; Note: All host names within a domain must be unique, especially when the VM cloning occurs |
|
#Hours Running |
The amount of time the VM was powered on during the specified time frame. |
|
Configured Memory |
The amount of virtual memory that is configured on the VM. |
|
Configured #vCPU |
The number of vCPUs configured on this VM. |
|
Max Mem Used% |
The highest percentage of memory used on a single day over the given time frame. |
|
Avg Mem Usage% |
The average percentage of memory used per day, over the given time frame. |
|
Max CPU % |
The highest percentage of CPU used on a single day used over the given time frame. |
|
Avg CPU % |
The average percentage of CPU used per day used over the given time frame. |
|
Adjusted Required Mem |
The expected ideal memory usage based on the highest single day memory usage. |
|
Adjusted Required vCPU |
The expected CPU usage based on the highest single-day CPU usage. |
|
Over Mem |
The amount of over allocated memory (Configured - Max memory), based on the highest single-day memory usage. |
|
Over CPU |
The amount of CPU over-allocation (configured #vCPU - Max vCPU) based on the highest single day CPU usage. |
|
Guest Type Profile |
A profile name is derived by the #vCPUs and memory. The Type Profile can be used to group and filter VM's of similar characteristics. Example: VMWare_2C_2G will be a VM with 2 vCPU and 2 GB of RAM. Similar to naming conventions used by public cloud providers that is Standard_A3, m4.xlarge, and so on. |
