Overview Tab

Container Name

The name of the container.

Cluster

The parent cluster containing this container

Namespace

The namespace associated with the container.

Pod Owner Name

This is the name of the controller or pod. You can have one or more containers per pod.

Pod Owner Kind

The controller type that monitors and maintains the state of your cluster. This can be one of DaemonSet, Deployment, ReplicaSet, ReplicationController, StatefulSet, etc.

Predicted Uptime %

Uptime % is the total time the container has been running as a percentage of the total hours since the container was deployed. (Running Hrs/Total Hrs)

When using pay-per-use pricing models, the amount of time each instance has been running, is required to accurately estimate future costs.

The predicted uptime (%) for a cloud instance or container, is based on the percentage of hours CPU utilization data is present in the historical interval, as specified in the policy settings for the entity. For Auto Scaling groups and VM Scale Sets and Individual child instances are not taken into account.

Predicted uptime %, for new instances or containers, that started mid-way through the historical interval, is calculated from the time/date that the instance was started as opposed to the beginning of the interval, resulting in more accurate predictions for future usage.

For example, the uptime is the number of hours that have "CPU Utilization in mcores", and the range is the lesser of when the container was discovered, or the range defined in the policy. Looking at a specific container that was discovered on Jan 5th 2024, that has workload of 42 hours since that date, then the uptime % is 42 hrs/(13 days x 24 hrs/day) = 13.4%. This is the value shown in this column.

No. of Containers

This is the current number of containers running in the selected cluster/namespace/pod combination.

Total CPU Request (mCores)

This is the total CPU request value for the container and is calculated as (current value * No. of Containers).

For containers where the current CPU value is unspecified '0' is displayed in this column.

Total Memory Request (MB)

This is the total memory request value for the container and is calculated as (current value * No. of Containers).

For containers where the current CPU value is unspecified "0" is displayed in this column.

No of Containers

This charts shows the number of containers that were running during each hour.

All other charts are available on the Metrics Viewer Tab tab.

Memory Saturation

Indicates whether or not memory utilization is above the saturation threshold, during the past 7 days of history.

The saturation threshold value is configurable. Contact [email protected] for details.

CPU Saturation

Indicates whether or not CPU utilization is above the saturation threshold, during the past 7 days of history.

The saturation threshold value is configurable. Contact [email protected] for details.

Primary Constraint

Indicates the reason that more containers cannot be added to this node group. The following values are evaluated and whichever has the largest value is identified as the primary constraint:

• CPU Request
• CPU Utilization
• Memory Request
• Memory Utilization

No Container Restarts

This charts shows the number of container restarts that occurred during each hour. A message indicates if there were no restarts.

All other charts are available on the Metrics Viewer Tab tab.

CPU Request (mCores)

Memory Request (MB)

CPU Limit (mCores)

Memory Limit (MB)

The current request and limit CPU | memory values for the selected container are displayed in these 4 blocks.

For containers where the current CPU value is unspecified a dash (-) is displayed in the main table and '0' is displayed in the "Total" row.

Recom. CPU Request (mCores)

Recom. Memory Request (MB)

Recom. CPU Limit (mCores)

Recom. Memory Limit (MB)

The recommended request and limit CPU | memory values for this container are displayed in these blocks.

Total CPU Request (mCores)

This is the total CPU request value for the container and is calculated as (current value * No. of Containers).

For containers where the current CPU value is unspecified '0' is displayed in this column.

Total Surplus CPU Request (mCores)

This is the total surplus CPU request value for the container and is calculated as (current value * No. of Containers).

For containers where the current CPU value is unspecified "0" is displayed in this column.

Estimated Waste/month

If the recommendations are implemented, the total savings or waste per container are indicated here.

This value is calculated as the total savings/number of containers.

Calculated as: (Surplus CPU_Req * CPU_price) + (Surplus Mem_Req * Mem_Price)

When calculating costs the Recommended CPU | Recommended Memory Request values are used for containers that have no request values specified.
