From Strata Cloud Manager, navigate to to analyze and monitor your devices' resource capacity by keeping track
of their metrics usage based on their model types. You can analyze metrics using the
following methods:
Capacity Analyzer is enhanced to support alerts that help you to anticipate resource
consumption nearing its maximum capacity and raise alerts. See Manage Capacity Analyzer Alerts.
Analyze Metric Capacity based on Metric, Model, and Device
- On the Capacity Analyzer Heatmap, hover your cursor over a cell to view the metric capacity usage for all devices belonging to the corresponding device model.In this example, the pop-up window displays theARP table sizemetric capacity for all the devices that belong to thePA-220model.
- Click a cell corresponding to the device model and the metric to check the capacity usage. In this example, we are clicking the ARP table size for thePA-220device model.
You can view the following:- ARP table size metric capacity for all devices belonging to thePA-220model.
- Select one of the host names to view the metric capacity trend.
- Alerts raised for the metric and predicted date when the metric will reach its maximum capacity.
- Predicted trend for the metric. Strata Cloud Manager forecasts the date when the metric will hit the maximum capacity. You can hover your cursor over the graph to check the metric capacity at any specific point of time.
Analyze Metric Capacity Based on Device Models
- From the Capacity Analyzer heat map, select a device model to view all its associated metrics.
Each row displays a metric's utilized capacity, indicating the number of resources used for that metric in a device. Additionally, you can view the alerts raised for the metric and predicted date when the metric will reach its maximum capacity. - In the Capacity Analyzer table, select a metric to view its trend on a device.
- Select a device to view the metric trend for it.You can select thePrediction Timeto check the predicted trend for the metric. Strata Cloud Manager forecasts the date when the metric will hit the maximum capacity.You can hover your cursor over the graph to check the metric capacity at any specific point of time.
UnderAlert Name, you can view the alerts raised for the address objects metric corresponding to a host name.
Analyze Metric Capacity Based on Metrics
- From the Capacity Analyzer heat map, select a metric to view its capacity in all the devices in a tabular format. In this example, theARP table sizemetric is selected.You can also select a metric type and drill down to a metric to view its capacity in all the devices in a tabular format. For example,Configuration Resourcetype metric >Objects>Address Objects.
Each row displays theARP table sizemetric’s used and unused capacity for every host under device models. Additionally, you can view the alerts raised for this metric for every host and the predicted date when the metric will reach its maximum capacity. - Select a host name to view the graphical trend of the selected metric.You can select thePrediction Timeto check the predicted trend for the metric. Strata Cloud Manager forecasts the date when the metric will hit the maximum capacity.
You can hover your cursor over the graph to check the metric capacity at any specific point of time.
