Review which hosts to resize

Capacity planning flags the hosts whose CPU or memory use calls for a change. This guide finds them and checks the reasons behind each suggestion.

Before you begin

• The tenant has collected data for the period you want to review (Data collection).

Steps

1. Open Analytics, then Capacity Planning.
2. Pick the sources at the top of the page, and the year, quarter or month to review.
3. Read the summary: Reviewable Host counts the hosts with a suggestion, and the counts beside it say which way each should go.
4. Filter the list to the hosts to be reviewed.
5. Select a host to open Host Details, and read its CPU and memory analysis and its charts.
6. Optional: select Export As, then PDF (.pdf), to keep the host's page.

Result

You know which hosts to upsize or downsize, and why. When the suggestions do not fit the tenant, change its thresholds with Configure Threshold (Environment configuration).
