Overview charts

The Overview Charts show your environment's overall operating health for the current session scope. A glance at the Overview gives you insights into service performance health, overall efficiency of your workload distribution, projections into the future, and trends over time.

The charts in this view show data for the current scope that you have set for the Turbonomic session. For the global scope, the charts roll up average, minimum, and peak values for the whole environment. When you reduce the scope (for example, set the scope to a cluster), the charts show values for the entities in that scope.

Some charts included in this view are:

Pending Actions

See all the actions that are pending for the current scope.
Health

Quickly see the health of the entities in this scope- How many entities have risks, and how critical the risks are.
Optimized Improvements

A comparison of utilization in your environment before executing the pending actions, and then after.
Capacity and Usage

This chart lists resources that are used by the current scope of entities, showing utilization as a percentage of the capacity that is currently in use.
Multiple Resources

See the utilization over time of various resources that are used by the current scope of entities.
Top Entities

For example, Top Virtual Machines. These charts list the top consumer entities in the current scope.
Risks Avoided

Each action addresses one or more identified risks or opportunities in your environment. This chart shows how many risks have been addressed by the executed actions.
Accepted Actions

This chart shows how many actions have been executed or ignored, and whether they have been executed manually or automatically.

Setting chart focus

The charts update to reflect the focus that you have set for your viewing session. While viewing the Overview Charts, you can set the focus in different ways:

Set supply chain focus

Choose a tier in the supply chain to set the view focus - see Navigating With the Supply Chain
Set scope

Use Search to set the scope of the viewing session - see Scoping the Turbonomic Session

Chart time frame

You can set a time frame from recent hours to the past year (1), and set that to the charts in the view. Use the Time Slider to set specific start and end times within that range (2). The green section in the slider shows that you can set the time range to include a projection into the future. For this part of the time range, charts show the results you would see after you execute the current set of pending actions.

For most charts, you can also configure the chart to hard-code the time range. In that case, the chart always shows the same time scale, no matter what scale and range you set for the given view.

Note that Turbonomic stores historical data in its database. As you run Turbonomic in your environment for more time, then you can set a time range to show more history.
