From Strata Cloud Manager, navigate to MonitorCapacity Analyzer to analyze and monitor your devices' resource capacity by keeping track
of their metrics usage based on their model types. You can analyze metrics using the
following methods:
Capacity Analyzer is enhanced to support alerts that help you to anticipate resource
consumption nearing its maximum capacity and raise alerts. See Manage Capacity Analyzer Alerts.
The Capacity Analyzer feature is not supported for the VM
Series firewalls.
Analyze Metric Capacity based on Metric, Model, and Device
On the Capacity Analyzer Heatmap, hover your cursor over a cell to
view the metric capacity usage for all devices belonging to the
corresponding device model.
In this example, the pop-up window displays the ARP
table size metric capacity for all the devices that belong
to the PA-220 model.
Click a cell corresponding to the device model and the metric to check the
capacity usage. In this example, we are clicking the ARP table size for the
PA-220 device model.
You can view the following:
ARP table size metric capacity for all devices belonging to the
PA-220 model.
Select one of the host names to view the metric capacity trend.
Alerts raised for the metric and predicted date when the metric will
reach its maximum capacity.
Predicted trend for the metric. Strata Cloud Manager forecasts the date
when the metric will hit the maximum capacity. You can hover your cursor
over the graph to check the metric capacity at any specific point of
time.
Analyze Metric Capacity Based on Device Models
From the Capacity Analyzer heat map, select a device model to view all its
associated metrics.
Each row displays a metric's utilized capacity, indicating the
number of resources used for that metric in a device. Additionally, you can
view the alerts raised for the metric and predicted date when the metric
will reach its maximum capacity.
In the Capacity Analyzer table, select a metric to view its trend on a
device.
Select a device to view the metric trend for it.
You can select the Prediction Time to check the predicted
trend for the metric. Strata Cloud Manager forecasts the date when the
metric will hit the maximum capacity.
You can hover your cursor over the graph to check the metric
capacity at any specific point of time.
Under Alert Name, you can view the alerts raised for the
address objects metric corresponding to a host name.
Analyze Metric Capacity Based on Metrics
From the Capacity Analyzer heat map, select a metric to view its capacity in
all the devices in a tabular format. In this example, the ARP table
size metric is selected.
You can also select a metric type and drill down to a metric to
view its capacity in all the devices in a tabular format. For example,
Configuration Resource type metric >
Objects > Address
Objects.
Each row displays the ARP table size metric’s used and unused capacity
for every host under device models. Additionally, you can view the alerts
raised for this metric for every host and the predicted date when the metric
will reach its maximum capacity.
Select a host name to view the graphical trend of the selected metric.
You can select the Prediction Time to check the predicted trend for
the metric. Strata Cloud Manager forecasts the date when the metric will hit
the maximum capacity.
You can hover your cursor over the graph to check the metric capacity at any
specific point of time.
