Application Menu and Scope

When you select either Databases or Hosts from the Capacity Planning menu, a Resources sub-menu is presented.

  • Databases: Summary, CPU, Storage, Memory, and I/O.
  • Hosts: Summary, CPU, and Memory

These pages comprise the Capacity Planning application of Ops Insights Service.

Below the sub-menu are Scope and Filters sections that define the global time and target scope shared across the Capacity Planning application.

  • Compartment: Capacity Planning is scoped to all databases enabled for Ops Insights and belonging to a specific compartment.
  • Database Type: The database scope can be further narrowed by filtering on database type.
