  • 1.  How do you measure your system usage over the long term?

    Posted Feb 27, 2014 05:45 PM

    Hi everyone,

    I was just curious how others measure their system usage over the long term, for making sure the system remains healthy and for proper growth/scaling planning. The usage section under system overview is helpful in this regard, but only shows the past 24 hours. To get long term metrics, looks like we would need to capture these ourselves, unless I am missing some other source. Can the time frame for usage be changed/widened? Are their custom queries that can be used for this purpose?

    How do you keep tabs on your environment to ensure all is healthy? Appreciate any thoughts you may have!

    Thx,
    Eric

    Thought I would also mention, I ran this by vendor support, and they brought up the following 2 products:ClearView and Policy Orchestrator/Predictive Analytics. However, I would like to see a way to track the platform usage without relying on an additional tool if possible.

    That said, I am interested in any opinions from the user community that gets me closer to the platform usage trending data I'm looking for!

    A customer of mine periodically reads the usage values out of server logs and stores it in a database. Excel s then used to create long term statistics.

    Hi Peter, thanks very much for the reply.

    I was not aware that the usage stats were being logged anywhere. It's frustrating because I contacted support with this question and I was told the statistics shown in System Overview > Usage are pulled directly from memory during runtime, so there was no way to capture them. If they are being logged--and I will certainly look into this--then this gets me much much closer to my goal.

    Thanks again Peter, very helpful!
