The Resource Usage Analysis chart displays the CPU, memory, and storage utilization for different entities available in the Data Center.
The graph helps you quickly analyze the server utilization. For example, it helps you identify the physical hosts that have consistently low CPU utilization. Based on these observations, you might consider converting those hosts to a VM. Similarly, you can identify which VM hosts are consuming over 70% peak CPU. If you observe a high CPU consumption pattern, you might consider a CPU upgrade.
To view resource usage:
Note: The 95th percentile methodology is to identify both the regular and sustained utilization. By using the 95th percentile data, occasional bursts in load can be ignored to provide a more meaningful capacity demand, compared to average or peak utilization.
There are two views available to see the utilization details.
The graphs are plotted based on the utilization percentages distributed in predefined percentage ranges against the number of selected entity types present in each percentage range.
