Viewing Usage Metrics for Compute

• Console
• CLI
• API

• 1. Open the navigation menu, click Governance & Administration, and then click Control Center.
     Your current region is displayed at the upper right of the Console. If your tenancy is subscribed to several regions, you can switch regions by selecting a different region from the Regions menu.
  2. In the Overview tab on the Region Details for Compute page, find details about the number of available bare metals, virtual machines, total available bare metals and virtual machines, total used, and total capacity for each combination of Compute shape and hardware generation.
     Note
     
     By default, the Region Details for Compute page appears. If the Region Details page doesn't display any information, select a different compartment from the Compartment list (on the left side of the page).
  3. To get further usage details of each processor based on the consumption type, server type, the three fault domains, and Availability domain, select View usage breakdown.
  4. To find an in-depth usage details for each of the Compute shapes that OCC supports such as, Intel Standard, AMD Standard, Intel Dense, and AMD Dense , select a specific tab.
     Note
     
     Only the processors available in your region are displayed.
  5. Use the following filter options to find more refined data and charts:
     1. Select or remove an option from the Filter by consumption type filter bar menu to filter existing data. All filter options are enabled by default.
     2. Select or remove an option from the Hardware generation filter bar menu to filter based on hardware shapes. For example, OCI X7 and X9 instance shapes for Intel Standard and E3 or E4 for AMD Standard.
     3. Select or remove an option from the Breakdowns filter bar menu to filter based on fault domains within an Availability domain.
     4. If you select fault domain in the previous step, select or remove a fault domain option from the Fault domains filter bar menu to filter capacities based on three fault domains.
  6. Find the current usage and the available capacity in cores from Current snapshot - <latest available date>: graph. The usage is calculated based on an hourly usage average for a specific day. It includes the following details:
     Note
     
     When the filter options change in step 5, the Current snapshot data change.

     • Overhead usage (blue): Represents the cores required to manage each Compute server and cores used by each hypervisor such as, to boot up VMs when hypervisors are deployed, which requires capacity. Also, overhead includes servers that need recycling or repair.
     • OCI usage (red): Represents the control plane and OCI usage to support extra resources. These resources can be the usage based on the resources that OCC instantiates when you instantiate a PaaS service, and make the PaaS service available.
     • Customer usage (green): Represents the IaaS usage. For example, to boot up VMs in an IaaS environment.
     • Available capacity (gray): Represents the total capacity available to you in a specific environment. This capacity is across all three fault domains within an Availability domain and the capacity required for bare metals or VMs across all nodes. For information about fault domains, see Fault Domains.
  7. Click Usage breakdown to view the usage categorization by tenancy and Compute shape.
     Note
     
     When the filter options change in step 5, the Usage breakdown data change.

     The table on the left side shows the Compute usage by the customer tenancy.

     The table on the right side displays usage across all available core shapes of Compute, showing overhead, OCI, customer, and available usages.

     Tip
     
     The core shapes in title case represents the cores that are already used and the shapes in uppercase represent the cores that are available.
  8. Under Organic forecast, switch on the Enable toggle to enable organic forecasting and find the usage projection based on heuristic, which includes overhead usage, OCI usage, customer usage, and available capacity. This projection can be used during the planning cycle to find the rate of consumption and decide on usage expansion. See Managing Organic Forecasting.
     When you enable organic forecast, the organic forecast chart is displayed next to the Historical chart. These two charts are separated by a line for comparison with the projected data.

     When selecting the start or end date, you can also select a range of periods such as one month (1M), two months (2M), and so on.

  9. View the historical data that represents the consumption of all overhead usage, OCI usage, customer usage, and available capacity in the last 30 days.
     You can select a range of periods or a custom period and find the equivalent data displayed. The default time is the past 30 days. Hover over the historical chart to find the usage details in the respective units of the resources compared to the total capacity on a specific date.
  10. To export the historical chart data and usage consumption data from the Console into an Excel, CSV, or PPTX format, select Export (on the top right side of the page).
  11. From the export menu, select a format from the list of options and then click Confirm.

• Use the list command and required parameters to list the available source services (namespaces) emitting metrics:

  oci occ namespace list [OPTIONS]

  Use the read command and required parameters to view the usage metric:

  oci occ metric-data read [OPTIONS]

  For a complete list of flags and variable options for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

• Run the RequestSummarizedMetricData operation to view the usage details by consumption type and server type for a Compute shape.
