Description

Hello,

The dashboard display REAL CPU USAGE and ALLOCATED CPU as integers numbers like 2020 / 4780.

The VM CPU configuration is a float with a correspondence 1 CPU in template == 100 CPU on dashboard.

This is quite confusing for users.

This should be also considered for cloud view

Is it possible to only use integersĀ as on dashboard?

Regards.

Hi

You are right the values for CPU in hosts are in percentage while the VM templates are not. These definitions affects multiple components from the UI, CLI, oned, scheduler down to the monitoring drivers for each hypervisor KVM, EC2, vCenter... So it is really difficult to change the definition of one of these two (VM Template CPU or Host CPU). We've been thinking of how we can avoid confusion and improve the dashboard, but we could not find a solution good enough (we prefer to keep consistency for the same metric across views and tabs, i.e. host FREECPU always in percentage). So, considering this, do you have a proposal?

Cheers and thanks for the feedback.

After discussing this, we think that the best option is to hide the CPU value from the user input, and move it to an Overcommit section, which is actually the purpose of this attribute.

Updating the issue subject to reflect this.

- Cloud View should present the value of VCPU, not CPU
- Evaluate as well fine grained definitions of CPU per SOCKET (at least in vCenter)

This one could be configurable to make capacity resizing available?
