Indicators

Indicators are computed metrics. They provide an indication of how a system is performing from the capacity and forecasting perspective. They are derived information and not measurements. With indicators, you can get additional insight into the status of the managed entity. Indicators are used individually (For example, in capacity views) or as part of Optimizer rules to compute recommendations.

Indicators are computed using fresh data imported into BMC Helix Continuous Optimization. Some indicators are computed for three time periods, namely last 1, 7, and 30 days. Others are computed only for last 30 days.

Some indicators are configurable. You can configure the indicator parameters and thresholds from the Indicators page in the BMC Helix Continuous Optimization (Click Administration > OPTIMIZER > Thresholds > Indicators). For more information, see Configuring-and-managing-thresholds-for-metrics-and-indicators.

The following table lists and describes the indicators.

UOM: unit of measurement

All = VMware, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Hyper-V, KVM, Xenserver, Kubernetes, Standalone systems

1 - Computed for VMs only if there is an established relationship (GM_ASSOCIATED_TO_VN) between the VM and its corresponding Virtual Node (VN). To create this relationship, rerun the Virtual Node Linker system task (Administration > ETL & SYSTEM TASKS > System tasks > Virtual Node Linker).
