Services

Last selected instance from the Instance Optimization Details

This dropdown list is populated with the instances from the Instance Optimization Details page from where the metrics viewer was opened. i.e. all of the services displayed in the tabular report in the upper pane, are available here.

Services in this list are named using the convention <service name><system-id>. The selected instance is at the top of the list and the rest are listed in alphabetical order.

You can select one service to review.

To search for a specific instance enter the name of the instance, as you type, matching strings are displayed in the list. You can also paste a string into this field and if a match exists, it is displayed.

Only the services from the parent Instance Optimization Details page are searched.

Period

Last 30 Days

Select the period on which you want to report. There are 4 pre-defined options as well as the option to customize a date range.

Select "Other" and enter your start and end dates in the calendar. Click Apply to close the calendar and update the charts with the new period.

Note: Densify retains up to 3 months of historical data for the metrics viewer. When creating a customized period, you cannot view data older than 90 days.

If a recommendation has been implemented that results in an instance type change during the selected period, you may observe data missing from the charts. See Relearning Workload Patterns.

View By

Daily

Select the unit of time to use for displaying the data. You can select hourly or daily.

The option to display hourly data is only available when the date range is less than 7-days. When reporting on more than 7-days, only the daily option is available.

Click this button to reset all of the settings to their default values. You will be prompted and then the menu options are reset and the charts are refreshed accordingly using the default values.

Metrics

• CPU Utilization %
• Memory Utilization %
• Disk I/O (KBytes/s)
• Network I/O (KBytes/s)

This dropdown list is populated with metrics that can be added to the selected chart. Select or remove any metrics to be added or removed from the chart and click Apply to update the chart. See below for the list of available metrics.

Metrics that are not compatible with the selected items are disabled (greyed out). Only metrics with the same units can be viewed in a single chart.

Click Clear All to clear the current selections and enable all metrics. You can now select other metrics with the same units. This also clears the Show selected items only box.

Use the search feature to find a specific metric.

Check the Show selected items only box to hide the list of other metrics. If this option is enabled and you use the search feature, only items that are shown in this list are searched. Disable this box to search all metrics.

Note: Network I/O Packets is not collected for RDS services. Consequently, if you select Network I/O Packets for RDS, the resulting chart will always display "No data available".

ASG Metrics

• CPU Utilization %
• Memory Utilization %
• No of In Service Instances
• Network I/O (KBytes/s)

Statistic

• Peak
• Sustained
• Average

Select the workload scoring strategies to be plotted on the chart. Peak, Sustained and Average are selected by default. Minimum is the other available option.

For ASGs, when "No of In Service Instance", is selected, then Peak, Average and Minimum are selected by default. See Quartiles in the Resource Utilization Charts for details of how peak, sustained, etc are determined.

A legend below each chart shows the line colour that corresponds to the statistic.
