Tier 2 and 3 compute

Let's recap what we need to produce in order to monitor capacity in tier-2 and tier-3 compute:

  • A line chart showing the maximum and average CPU contention experienced by any VM in the cluster
  • A line chart showing the maximum and average RAM contention experienced by any VM in the cluster
  • A line chart showing the total number of VMs left in the cluster

You will need five super metrics, which are as follows:

  • Maximum (VM CPU contention) in the cluster
  • Average (VM CPU contention) in the cluster
  • Maximum (VM RAM contention) in the cluster
  • Average (VM RAM contention) in the cluster
  • The total number of VMs left in the cluster. See tier 1, as it is the same formula with a different threshold.

These super metrics are the same ones you created ...
