Capacity Forecast

The Capacity Forecast analytic determines the “time‐to‐zero” period for an entity’s key metrics to reach capacity using trend estimates based on long‐term historical usage data.It flags each key metric whose time‐to‐zero period is less than specified thresholds.

Before you can begin analyzing for capacity forecasting, you must collect at least three days’ worth of data. The Integration cannot access capacity information from before the integration was installed.

Capacity Forecast analyzes the following metrics to provide capacity reporting and planning information for the Integration.

Unity Ethernet Port
	*Name*	*Description*
	Ethernet Avg Network Bytes Received Rate	The average number of bytes received per second.
	Ethernet Avg Network Sent Byte Rate	The average number of bytes sent per second.
	Ethernet Avg Network Received Packet Rate	The average number of packets received per second.
	Ethernet Avg Network Sent Packet Rate	The average number of packets sent per second.
Unity Pool
	*Name*	*Description*
	Compression Efficiency	A ratio of effective capacity to physical capacity. It shows how effectively you are leveraging your physical capacity.
	Avg Free Effective Capacity	The average amount of effective capacity available for use, based on compression efficiency.
	Avg Free Usable Capacity	The average amount of capacity available for use.
	Max Free Effective Capacity	The maximum amount of effective capacity available for use, based on compression efficiency.
	Max Free Usable Capacity	The maximum amount of usable capacity available for use, based on compression efficiency.
	Max % Free Capacity	The maximum percentage of space free on this volume
	Min Free Effective Capacity	The minimum amount of effective capacity available for use, based on compression efficiency.
	Min Free Usable Capacity	The minimum amount of usable capacity available for use, based on compression efficiency.
	Min % Free Capacity	The minimum percentage of space free on this volume
	Avg % Free Capacity	The average percentage of space free on this volume
	Avg % Utilized Capacity	The average percentage of space used on this volume
	Total Effective Capacity	The total effective capacity available for use (as reported by the device). This is equal to the total physical disk space if this device has no compression, deduplication, thin provisioning etc. enabled.
	Total Usable Capacity	The total usable space available to this volume. Usable space is computed by excluding any overhead e.g. RAID, and is equivalent to running the shell command "df".
	Avg Used Effective Capacity	The average amount of disk space effectively used. This is equal to used physical disk space if this device has no compression, deduplication, thin provisioning etc. enabled.
	Avg Used Usable Capacity	The average used usable space used on this volume. Usable space is computed by excluding any overhead e.g. RAID, and is equivalent to running the shell command "df".
