Capacity is a measurement of the amount of memory, CPU, and disk space for an object. You can turn on and configure the settings for the Capacity Remaining element for the object types in your policy.

How the Capacity Remaining Element Works

The Capacity Remaining element determines how reports on the available capacity until resources run out for a specific object type group.
  • The capacity remaining indicates the capability of your environment to accommodate workload.
  • Usable capacity is a measurement of the percentage of capacity available, minus the capacity affected when you use high availability.
