Monitoring resource metrics allocations in your multidimensional resource plans

Use the Multidimensional Plan Allocation view within the Dashboard to monitor how the resource metrics defined in your multidimensional resource plans are allocated. Your multidimensional resource plan supports four predefined resource metrics for scheduling: maxmem, maxswp, maxtmp, and ncpus. The pie charts show multidimensional resource allocations for first-level and leaf consumers.

Before you begin

The Multidimensional Plan Allocation view is only visible if you have at least one multidimensional resource plan defined.

Procedure

From the Dashboard, expand Multidimensional Plan Allocation.
Within the Multidimensional Plan Allocation view, you can see the following information:
Multidimensional resource plan name resource metric: Top Level Consumers
These charts have labels in the format Multidimensional resource plan name resource metric: Top Level Consumers (such as MyPlan ncpus: Top Level Consumers) and show the following information for each multidimensional resource plan you have defined:
  • The total number of the resource metric available to first-level consumers (for example, the total number of ncups for all the consumers defined in the multidimensional resource plan).
  • A pie chart that further breaks down the resource metrics allocated to each first-level consumer. Mouse over any of the information in this section (such as the pie chart, allocations, or consumer names) to see additional information.

By default, you see the Top Level Consumers charts.

Multidimensional resource plan name resource metric: Leaf Consumers
These charts have labels in the format Multidimensional resource plan name resource metric: Leaf Consumers (such as MyPlan ncpus: Leaf Consumers) and show the following information for each multidimensional resource plan you have defined:
  • The total number of the resource metric available to first-level consumers (for example, the total number of ncups for all the leaf consumers defined in the multidimensional resource plan).
  • A pie chart that further breaks down the resource metrics allocated to each first-level consumer. Mouse over any of the information in this section (such as the pie chart, allocations, or consumer names) to see additional information.

By default, you see the Top Level Consumers charts. To see Leaf Consumers charts, click Show > Leaf Consumers.

By default, you see the Multidimensional Plan Allocation view collapsed, with a summary of the multidimensional plan allocations.
