Click CPU from the Resources list in the navigation pane to gain insight into individual hosts or click Aggregate to view storage utilization across multiple hosts.

The amount of CPU resources and the percentage change in the usage of CPU resources are represented visually, through the size and color of the cells, respectively. The cells that are larger in size use more CPU resources than the smaller cells. The largest cell would be that of the host using the most CPU resources. The color of the cells is determined by the percentage change in the CPU resources used by the hosts.

To analyze CPU utilization across a subset of hosts, use the Grouping menu to group hosts according to Platform Type, Utilization Level, VM Cluster, or Exadata. Click on a specific group to view the trend and forecast for CPU utilization for all hosts within the group. For more information on group tags see: Group by Tags.

For Ops Insights to forecast your resource utilization for a year, there must be at least 13 months of stored data. The forecast value is more accurate when there’s more data. You can use the current and forecast CPU utilization to plan your host capacity. Alternatively, you can also select the Databases option to view trend and forecast analysis for all databases running on that host or Top 5 Processes where the top 5 processes are shown based on CPU usage.
