Have you guys been utilizing the Analysis charts feature effectively? It gives you the ability to create charts that can monitor a variety of performance metrics over a week, month, or a custom time range.
Here are a few ideas on how we resolved some issues seen in the field.
-
Memory Usage (%) - Create a chart to track memory consumption or one or multiple VM’s over a time interval
-
Hypervisor CPU Usage (%) - Measure the CPU usage of one or more hosts over time and gain a better understanding of resource constraints if any
-
Storage Controller Latency - This is particularly useful if you suspect performance issues. Creating charts ranging to a few weeks back gives you a comparative analysis and a benchmark for the current latency observed
-
Storage Container Usage - A classic use case for this is when multiple VM’s have been migrated out of the cluster over many days but you suspect the storage space has not been reclaimed
-
Replication Bandwidth - Transmitted - If there are periodic replication schedules set and you observe that one replication is taking longer than it usually takes, this is a good place to look at.
The above are just some of the ways how Analysis has helped our customers gain better insights into their cluster performance.
