Action details

The Action Details page provides a comprehensive set of information to help you understand why Turbonomic recommends an action and what you would gain if you execute it.

The Action Details page for a specific action has a unique URL (or deep link) that you can share with interested parties. To get the URL, click the share icon and then copy the URL displayed in the address bar of the new tab.

Utilization charts

Turbonomic uses percentile calculations to measure resource utilization more accurately, and drive actions that improve overall utilization and reduce costs for cloud workloads. When you examine the details for an entity or pending action, you will see charts that highlight resource utilization percentiles for a given observation period, and the projected percentiles after you execute the action.

The charts also plot daily average utilization for your reference. If you have previously executed scaling actions on the entity, you can see the resulting improvements in daily average utilization. Put together, these charts allow you to easily recognize utilization trends that drive Turbonomic's recommendations.

Notes:

You can set constraints in policies to refine the percentile calculations.
After you execute an action, it might take some time for the charts to reflect the resulting improvements.

Entities with utilization charts

Utilization charts display for actions on the following entity types:

Entity type	Monitored resources		Notes
Entity type	Percentile utilization	Average utilization	Notes
Application Component	Heap Garbage Collection	Heap Garbage Collection	For Application Components, you will see either a Heap or Garbage Collection chart for Heap resize actions. See Application Component Actions.
Virtual Machine	vCPU vMem	vCPU vMem	For on-prem VMs, you will see either a VCPU or VMem chart, depending on the commodity that needs to scale. For cloud VMs and VMs in Migrate to Cloud plans, both charts display. These charts also appear when you scope to a given VM (on-prem or cloud) and view the Details page. They also appear in Migrate to Cloud plan results.
Virtual Machine Spec	vCPU vMem	vCPU vMem Storage Number of replicas	See Virtual Machine Spec Actions.
Database (cloud)	DTU Pricing Model DTU vCore Pricing Model vCPU vMem IOPS Throughput RU Pricing Model RU	DTU Pricing Model DTU Storage vCore Pricing Model vCPU vMem IOPS Throughput Storage RU Pricing Model RU	See Cloud Database.
Database Server (AWS RDS)	vCPU vMem IOPS	vCPU vMem IOPS	See AWS RDS Actions.
Database Server (On-prem)	DB Memory DB Cache Hit Rate	DB Memory DB Cache Hit Rate	For On-prem Database Servers, you will see either a DB Memory or DB Cache Hit Rate chart for DB Memory resize actions. See Database Server (On-prem) Actions.
Document Collection	RU	RU	See Document Collection Actions.
Volume (cloud)	IOPS Throughput	IOPS Throughput	These charts also appear when you scope to a given volume and view the Details page. See Cloud Volume Actions.
Workload Controller	vCPU limits and requests vMem limits and requests	vCPU limits, throttling, and requests vMem limits and requests	See Container Actions.
