Dashboard 4.19.2. New Used/Allocated resources view ???

[SviridoffA]

Hi everyone! Is anyone else experiencing issues with the new resource display, with the new Used/Allocated toggle? I’m completely lost as to what it’s showing. I have several virtual machines running on my cluster. They’re almost constantly idle. However, the dashboard, when set to “used,” displays something similar to my “allocated” values. Meanwhile, “allocated” shows values that don’t make sense to me. My current workload on the cluster should be around 1%, and “allocated” should be closer to what is currently displayed as “used.” I t is not fresh install, I upgraded from 4.19.1. I’d appreciate any help in understanding this.

Hi @SviridoffA thanks for your question. The toggle was introduced to fix a mismatch on the previous versions about the used vs allocated values that were displayed on the dashboard, allowing CloudStack to display allocated and used capacity separately. Previously, ony allocated values were meant to be displayed, but CloudStack was using the used capacity values. This was fixed on this PR: #10215. According to your images it looks like there is a problem with the CPU used capacity values displayed on the dashboard (according to your cluster stats it should be 2% instead of 22%). I'll have a look at this

Hi @nvazquez thanks for your reply. I think this is a great feature, but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be working in my case. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can provide. I’m not sure if it’s relevant, but I do have overprovisioning configured as written below:

CPU - 2
MEM - 3

And one more thing.. It looks like the allocated amount is showing up as a few percent higher than it really is. Currently, my workload is very static; sudden spikes are almost non-existent.
