Note
Any configurations done in the Maps Settings will not have an impact on the Azure view. The Maps page is not available from 22.1 version.
Maps Settings
- CPU Utilization %: Modify the required values for displaying the threshold values for the CPU utilization in the Maps page:
In the Low Threshold box, edit the threshold value for CPU utilization in percentage. The entities with capacity starting from 0 to a value lower than the value in this box are displayed in the shades of blue color.
In the Good Threshold box, edit the threshold value for CPU utilization in percentage. The entities with capacity starting from the value in the Low Threshold box to the value below the value in this box are displayed in the shades of green color.
- In the Warn Threshold box, edit the threshold value for CPU utilization in percentage. The entities with capacity starting from the value in the Good Threshold box to the value below the value in this box are displayed in the shades of yellow color.
The entities with capacity above the value in the Warn Threshold box are displayed in the shades of red color.
- Memory Utilization %: Modify the required values for displaying the threshold values for the memory utilization in the Maps page:
In the Low Threshold box, edit the threshold value for memory utilization in percentage. The entities with capacity starting from 0 to value below the value in this box are displayed in the shades of blue color.
In the Good Threshold box, edit the threshold value for memory utilization in percentage. The entities with capacity starting from the value in the Low Threshold box to the value below the value in this box are displayed in the shades of green color.
- In the Warn Threshold box, edit the threshold value for memory utilization in percentage. The entities with capacity starting from the value in the Good Threshold box to the value below the value in this box are displayed in the shades of yellow color.
The entities with capacity above the value in the Warn Threshold box are displayed in the shades of red color.
Configuring the Optimization Behavior settings
| Optimization behavior | Description |
|---|---|
| Aggressive | Resource utilization in the server is computed by considering the average value of hourly samples. Increases in the resource utilization within the hour are not considered. Then, the 95th percentile of the hourly value over the last 30 days is computed for each resource to generate the configuration of the target virtual machine or instance type. |
| Balanced (Default) | Resource utilization in the server is computed by considering the 90th percentile value of hourly samples. Only 10% of increases in the utilization within the hour are not considered. Then, the 95th percentile of the hourly value over the last 30 days is computed for each resource to generate the configuration of the target virtual machine or instance type. |
| Conservative | Resource utilization in the server is computed by considering the 99th percentile value of hourly samples. Only 1% of increases in the utilization within the hour are not considered. Then, the 95th percentile of the hourly value over the last 30 days is computed for each resource to generate the configuration of the target virtual machine or instance type. |
If you select the Conservative or Balanced optimization behavior for a server that is not instrumented, the results are based on the Aggressive behavior.
BMC recommends the Conservative behavior for servers that are running business-critical applications.
