Actions charts keep a history of pending (not executed) and executed actions. These charts use historical data from the Turbonomic database. You can set the chart to show hourly, daily, or monthly data points.
Filter
You can filter the chart to show All Actions (pending and executed actions) or only Executed Actions.

For these charts, each peak represents a time period. Hover over the peak to see the number of unique actions for that time period. In the default view, the bars represent actions per hour in the last 24 hours. For example, the 2:00 PM bar shows actions between 2:00 PM and 2:59 PM.
For these charts, each bar represents a time period. Hover over the bar to see the number of unique actions for that time period. In the default view, the bars represent actions per hour in the last 24 hours. For example, the 2:00 PM bar shows actions between 2:00 PM and 2:59 PM.
A pending action that remains valid for an extended period of time is counted once for each hour, day, and month it remains pending. This also applies to pending actions that go away as conditions in the market change, but are generated again in the future. Once a pending action is executed, it is counted once (this time, as an executed action) on the hour, day, and month of execution.
Consider the following scenarios.
-
An action was generated at 1:25 PM and then executed two hours later at 3:25 PM.
-
For per-hour views (Last 24 Hours or Default), the action will be counted three times – as a pending action in the 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM bars, and as an executed action in the 3:00 PM bar.
-
For per-day (Last 7 or 30 Days) or per-month (Last Year) views, the action will be counted once (as an executed action) on the day or month of execution.
-
-
An action was generated at 6:20 PM but went away (without being executed) in the next hour. The same action was generated again the next day at 9:10 AM and was executed immediately.
-
For per-hour views, the action will be counted twice – as a pending action in the 6:00 PM bar and as an executed action in next day's 9:00 AM bar.
-
For per-day views, the action will also be counted twice – as a pending action on Day 1 and an executed action on Day 2.
-
For per-month views, the action will be counted once (as an executed action) on the month of execution.
-
Use these charts to evaluate the rate of action execution, which underscores the importance of executing actions in a timely manner. As pending actions persist, they become more challenging to track and your environment stays in a risky state longer. To reduce potential delays in executing actions, consider action automation.
