Analyze Host Network Usage

Ops Insights lets you view current network usage as well as trend and forecast for both individual hosts and across multiple hosts.

Analyze Available Network Usage

You can analyze your host’s network utilization by using the Host Capacity Planning application to view and compare detailed information across one or more hosts. In the host summary page you can view a summary of the Change and Utilization.

For a complete view of network capacity usage across all Ops Insights enabled hosts, click Network under Hosts in the left navigation menu.

By default, you view comprehensive storage usage information for each host. If you have large numbers of hosts, you can search using the host display name.

The Ops Insights table provides the following information:
  • Compartment: Compartment location of the server.
  • Platform Type: The following platforms are supported:
    • Linux (including Ubuntu)
    • Solaris
    • Windows
    The following platforms are supported through hosts monitored by Enterprise Manager only:
    • zLinux
    • AIX
    • HP-UX
    To add Enterprise Manager targets into Ops Insights see: Adding Enterprise Manager Targets.
  • Usage (Mbps): Amount of network traffic usage expressed in megabytes per second.
  • Usage Change (%): Total delta percentage usage change in network traffic.
  • Read (Mbps): Amount of network read usage expressed in megabytes per second.
  • Write (Mbps): Amount of network write usage expressed in megabytes per second.
  • Ops Insights State: Current state of the host, will show enabled, disabled, or terminated depending on the host state.

Analyze Trend and Forecast Storage Usage

Selecting a host from the Network usage (Insights) table, you can view storage utilization as well as the trend and usage forecast for that host. Alternatively, you can also specify the breakdown by Interface to view trend and forecast analysis for all mountpoint interfaces running on that host.

By default, trending and forecasting are calculated using linear regression. For more advanced analysis, you can have Ops Insights use machine learning to perform the trending and forecasting.
