Standard Capacity Reports
Standard Capacity Reports Copied
Opsview Cloud provides the ability to receive scheduled capacity reports via email, regularly identifying inefficiencies throughout your estate. Using the provided insights into host and storage utilization, these inefficiencies can be rectified to ensure optimal performance and cost savings.
Prerequisites Copied
Standard Capacity relies on Host Template configuration in Opsview alongside required Opsview Cloud and capacity planning service setup carried out by ITRS Support. As a result, Standard Capacity Reports are only available on Opsview Cloud Enterprise.
Architecture Copied
Gathering data required for capacity planning Copied
To identify the hosts you want to include in your capacity reports, Opsview Cloud comes with a pair of Host Templates that include all the functionality needed to understand their resource utilization. These Host Templates mark your Opsview Hosts as candidates for inclusion in the capacity reports.
The Export - Capacity Planner - Server is a requirement on any host you wish to include in your capacity reports,
while the Export - Capacity Planner - Server Advanced Host Template is optional, but provides additional information
to enhance categorization and reasoning.
Each host using these Host Templates must have an Opsview Agent or ITRS Infrastructure Agent installed.
Additionally, the data gathered can be viewed and interacted with in Opsview as normal, even before your capacity reports are generated.
See the Export - Capacity Planner Opspack documentation for full details on these Host Templates.
Managing the generation of scheduled reports Copied
On request, ITRS Support will configure your Opsview Cloud instance to begin exporting the required data to our dedicated capacity planning service. Once the data is collected and processed, you will begin receiving scheduled capacity reports via email.
Available capacity reports Copied
Opsview Cloud offers a variety of capacity reports to suit your needs, including but not limited to storage near capacity, storage with low usage, or summarizations of server utilization. Please discuss options with ITRS Support to discover the ideal capacity reports to suit your use-cases. Additional options for enhancing and categorizing your report data via Opsview configuration are available.
Adding hosts to your capacity reports Copied
To add a host to your capacity reports, simply apply the requisite Host Templates to those hosts, and wait for the scheduled reports to begin including them.
