Analyzing and predicting resource-manager capacity

The Analytics panel contains report cards that predict when resource managers will exceed the maximum number of managed devices. For Lenovo XClarity Administrator resource managers, up to 1,000 managed devices are supported.

To display the resource-manager capacity reports, click Advanced Analytics (Analytics icon) > Predefined Analytics, and then click Manager Capacity Prediction to display the related analytics cards.

Manager Capacity

This report lists the device capacity for each resource manager, including the number of managed devices and capacity status, which indicates whether the capacity is overloaded. The following capacity states are used.

  • (Normal icon) Normal. The number of managed devices less than the maximum number of supported devices.
  • (Warning icon) Warning. The number of managed devices close to the maximum number of supported devices.
  • (Critical icon) Critical. The number of managed devices greater than the maximum number of supported devices.

Manage Capacity Trend

This report card includes a line graph that shows the number of devices that were managed, over time, for a specific resource manager and the forecasted trend when the number of managed devices will be reached the maximum supported capacity for that resource manager.

Click a row in the Manager Capacity table to display capacity trends for that resource manager.

You can change the time period that is displayed by clicking the drop-down menu. You can choose to display data by year, quarter, month, or day. You can also change the number of periods that are shown in the graph using the zoom box under the graph.
