Foglight Resource Optimizer 6.1.0 - User Guide (for Hyper-V Environments)

Automate

Recommendations for improvements in resource utilization can be implemented automatically, or scheduled for implementation at a particular time in the future (for example, within a maintenance window).

 
* 
IMPORTANT: Foglight users must have the “Remediation role” to be able to run and automate recommendations. This role can be assigned to a user using the User Management dashboard. For more information about this dashboard, see the “Controlling user access to dashboards” topic in the Foglight Online Help.

Use the Automate menu to set the criteria for automatically sending recommendations for improvements. The Create Automate For <Environment Name> dialog box allows you to configure the following settings:

•
Implement the <Resource> recommendations for <Environment Name>. Select the check boxes (where available) for the recommendations that should be implemented automatically.
 
* 
NOTE: Over-provisioning VMs with CPU, memory, or storage resources can be a large source of wasted hardware (and budget). Sometimes over-provisioning can also be a source of performance degradation, if too many virtual CPUs have been allocated and VMs need to compete to each other for host CPU cores.
•
Choose the recommendation schedule that should be run automatically. Click New to add a new schedule to the list of schedules.
•
Type in the name of the report in the Report Name field.
•
Send an email to a list of recipients when the scheduled action is run. Add, edit, or remove email addresses from the list, as necessary.

All the executable recommendations for improvements in resource utilization from the selected tab can be implemented automatically. When you click Automate, these recommendations are scheduled for implementation at a particular time in the future, and the scheduled recommendations appear in the Scheduled Actions dialog.

Reclaiming Savings bar

The Optimizer analyzes actual utilization and performance metrics to properly size virtual machine allocations and reclaim unused resources. System administrator can select a VM from the list and review the Reclaiming Savings bar for information about how many resources can be reclaimed.

The Reclaim Now and Reclaim Later buttons and the Exclude link are enabled only after selecting a virtual machine from the table.

Reclaiming resources

To reclaim right away the resources wasted for a selected VM:
1
Click Reclaim Now.
A confirmation dialog box opens.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: The implementation of some recommendations may require a VM reboot.
2
Click Confirm to confirm the operation.
The resources are reclaimed right away.
To schedule the reclaiming of resources wasted for a selected VM:
1
Click Reclaim Later.
The Reclaim Later - Schedule dialog box opens.
2
Review the list of recommendations and the date and time when they are scheduled to be implemented.

5
Click Confirm.
The dialog box closes, and the new scheduled action is added to the Scheduled Actions list.

Excluding objects

To exclude objects from the analysis done for optimizing the environment:
•
Select the VM from the Virtual Machines table and click Exclude.
The selected VM is added to the list of Excluded objects for a specific category. For more information about this list, see Viewing excluded objects.
