Grouping values in Capacity Planner can be changed by providing new values in the properties file. Grouping values cannot be removed via the properties file; contact your technical representative to remove them.
Collecting Geneos data is essential for providing input to the ITRS Insights Capacity Planner. This guide walks through the steps required to gather and prepare the necessary data.
The colour scheme in Capacity Planner can be changed using the view menu in the top right corner. You can select from four available colour schemes to customize the display.
Generating a Red, Amber, Green status shows last month’s CPU usage for all VMs in a cluster. Use the Metric Analysis Multi Chart report with CPU and Memory metrics and set thresholds for RAG colors.
Testing DR capacity involves simulating workload migration to the DR environment using the sunburst interface. The model shows capacity sufficiency with visual indicators and provides summaries of capacity breaches and required resources.
Export a list of all changes made in a scenario using a change report or CSV file. Generate a PDF report or export visible model data to CSV for detailed configuration information.
Exporting a model as a CSV allows you to save machine and server data from the sunburst view. Use the baseline menu's export option to generate a CSV file with detailed rows for each visible entity.
Cluster HA thresholds in the Clusters report tab default to 1 but can be adjusted higher or lower. To change these thresholds, contact the Capacity Planner technical representative for assistance.
The metric explorer allows viewing all metrics for entities at any hierarchy level on a single screen. It provides options to select entity types, view time series data, and compare two metrics on one chart.
Standard thresholds used in Capacity Planner can be viewed in the Project menu under configuration. These settings cannot be modified directly and require contacting your Capacity Planner technical contact for changes.
Cloud recommendation rules allow customization of AWS options like location, instance family, network performance, and storage class. These rules can be configured under Recommend > Configure AWS Migration Rules and applied or reset to default settings.
Optimising application costs in the cloud involves identifying high-cost or low-utilisation machines and reviewing instance types and states. Recommendations help pinpoint potential changes, and you can export a list of these suggestions for cost control.
Grouping values are added using a properties file, a CSV with unique entity identifiers. Submit the completed file to your technical contact to add new grouping categories.
The Benchmark tab shows CPU utilization normalized to specint benchmark scores for each chipset in the environment. It uses a reference machine to compare and display CPU demand consistently across different hardware platforms.
An entity in Capacity Planner refers to a managed object used in reporting. Entities include physical servers, virtual machines, hosts, network devices, interfaces, disk files, and drives.
Capacity Planner releases updates and new features approximately every month. Release schedules and any required downtime are announced a week in advance on the project page.
A cluster headroom colour differing significantly from its hosts usually indicates a shared storage constraint. The cluster headroom calculation considers shared storage limits across all hosts, unlike individual host calculations, which assume full shared storage availability.
A blank screen when opening a timeseries in Capacity Planner often indicates automatic logout after inactivity. Reloading the tab will prompt the login screen, allowing you to log in and continue using the product.
