Host Aggregates Page in the OpenStack view_24.2
Host Aggregate is an OpenStack entity. You can partition a single Compute deployment into logical groups; for example, into multiple groups of hosts that share common resources like storage and network, or have a special property such as trusted computing hardware.
The Host Aggregates page in the OpenStack view displays information for all the host aggregates available in the selected cloud.
You can access this page in the TrueSight console using one of the following ways:
- Select Capacity > Views > Cloud > OpenStack and click the Host Aggregates tab
- In the OpenStack > Cloud page, navigate to the Related Information panel and click the Host Aggregates link.
The following figure shows the Host Aggregates view page displaying the host aggregate related information.

Viewing the OpenStack Host Aggregates table
The Host Aggregates table lists the following information for each host aggregate in the selected cloud. By default, some columns are hidden. You can show or hide columns using the action menu
that is located next to the Host Aggregates table title. For more information, see Sorting a table in the TrueSight console.
Host Aggregates table: Description of columns
Column | Description | Statistical Type | Metrics |
|---|---|---|---|
Name | Name of the host aggregate. Clicking on one of the hosts in this column of the summary view takes you to the host aggregate details view. | Last Value | NAME |
Availability Zone | Name of the Availability Zone that contains this host aggregate. | Last Value | Relationship AZ_CONTAINS_HY is used to get the NAME of the availability zone |
CPU [GHz] | Total CPU capacity available of the host aggregate, measured in GHz. | Last Value | TOTAL_CPU_MHZ |
CPU Used [GHz] | Total CPU used by the host aggregate, measured in GHz. | 95th percentile | CPU_UTILMHZ |
CPU Util [%] | Percentage of total CPU utilized by the host aggregate. | 95th percentile | CPU_UTIL |
CPU Trend [%] | The daily growth rate of CPU utilization of the host aggregate. | Trend | Trendbased on CPU_UTIL |
Memory [GB] | Total physical memory capacity of the host aggregate, measured in GB. | Last value | TOTAL_REAL_MEM |
Memory Used [GB] | Total physical memory used by the host aggregate, measured in GB. | 95th percentile | MEM_CONSUMED |
Memory Util [%] | Percentage of total physical memory utilized by the host aggregate. | 95th percentile | MEM_UTIL |
Memory Trend [%] | Daily growth rate of memory utilization of the host aggregate. | Trend | Trendbased on MEM_UTIL |
Ephemeral Storage Size [GB] | Total capacity of ephemeral storage, measured in GB. | Last value | TOTAL_EPHEMERAL_DISK_SIZE |
Ephemeral Provisioned Storage [GB] | Total ephemeral storage provisioned to the virtual machines in OpenStack measured in GB. | 95th percentile | TOTAL_EPHEMERAL_DISK_PROVISIONED |
Datastore [GB] | Total capacity of the datastore, measured in GB. | Last value | TOTAL_DSTORE_SIZE |
Datastore Used [GB] | Total used space in the datastore, measured in GB. | 95th percentile | TOTAL_DSTORE_USED |
DatastoreUtil[%] | Percentage of total datastore capacity used by the host aggregate. | 95th percentile | TOTAL_DSTORE_UTIL |
Datastore Trend [%] | Daily growth rate of datastore utilization of the host aggregate. | Trend | Trendbased on DSTORE_UTIL |
CPU Overcommit Ratio | Ratio of vCPUs allocated to the virtual machines to total physical CPUs available in the hypervisors in the host aggregate. | Computed based on last values | VCPU_ON_NUM, CPU_NUM |
Memory Overcommit Ratio | Ratio of memory allocated to the VMs to the total physical memory available in the hypervisors in the host aggregate. | Computed based on last values | SUM (VM.TOTAL_REAL_MEM), TOTAL_REAL_MEM |
Ephemeral Storage Overcommit Ratio | Ratio of ephemeral storage provisioned to the total capacity of ephemeral storage. | Computed metric | TOTAL_EPHEMERAL_DISK_SIZE, TOTAL_EPHEMERAL_DISK_PROVISIONED |
Hypervisor Count | The number of hypervisors on the host aggregate. | Last value | HOST_NUM |
Powered On VMs | Number of virtual machines that are powered on. | 95th percentile | GM_ON_NUM |
Spare VMs | Estimated number of additional virtual machines that can be placed in the host aggregate, calculated based on the remaining CPU, Memory and Storage capacity. For more information, see Spare VM calculation in Recalculating the spare VM basis. | Computed by AFS using total capacity and 95th utilization of CPU, Memory and Storage | IND_SPARE_VM |
Spare VM Basis | Custom or Typical is displayed. An average VM for cluster based on the past 30 days is used for Typical, whereas Custom indicates that custom VM data (Average utilization of CPU, Memory, and Datastore ) is specified. To edit the value that has been set, click the value displayed in this column. For more information, see Spare VM calculation in Recalculating the spare VM basis. | NA | TYPICAL or CUSTOM |
Days to Saturation | The projected amount of time before one of the resources (CPU, MEMORY, STORAGE) in the host aggregate runs out of available capacity. Displays the number of days to saturation for the least available resource. | Computed by AFS using total capacity and 95th utilization of CPU, Memory and Storage | IND_DAYS_TO_SATURATION |
Bottleneck Resource | Name of the resource that has either saturated or will saturate in the next 30 days. Bottleneck resource can be CPU, MEMORY or STORAGE. The field is blank if none of the resources has saturated, or will saturate. | Computed by AFS using total capacity and 95th utilization of CPU, Memory and Storage | IND_BNECK_RESOURCE |
For more information on the Days to Saturation and other indicator parameters used for metric computations in this view, see Indicators.
Viewing detailed information about a Host Aggregate
After you click on the host aggregate in the Name column, the details for that host aggregate are displayed in the Host Aggregate Details page:
Host Aggregate Details table
Section or Panel | Description |
|---|---|
General details section | General details, such as host aggregate name, type, and a number of elements within it are displayed. |
Related Information panel | Clicking the links in the Related Information panel displays the other information related to the selected host aggregate. Thresholds: Clicking on the link cross-launches to the Capacity Optimization console and take you to the Thresholds page for the selected host aggregate. For more information, see Configuring and managing thresholds for metrics and indicators. |
Tags panel | Displays tags, if any, that are associated with the host aggregate. You can add tags to the host aggregate using the action menu |
Summary tab | The Summary tab, that is displayed by default, displays details for the selected host aggregate in a horizontal summary table, as well as charts. Analysis charts: Core metrics for the selected entity are displayed as analysis charts, depending on available data. A link at the bottom of each chart allows you to view the data for a specific resource type. You can download, save an offline copy, annotate, and print the charts. For more information, see Managing charts. |
Configuration Details tab | The Configuration Details tab displays the configuration matrix for the selected host aggregate. |
