foglight 7.0 questions
- 1. What will happen if everyone try to reclaim from Foglight Monitoring Tool ? Does it reclaim the resource and add it to the Free pool.
- 2. Also is therea a Privilege required to reclaim using Foglight.
- 3. About the resource utilization, Is it possible to get last peak time usage while it is showing the Reclaim.
- 4. After how many days monitoring , will it show as reclaim (probably the resource could be utilized either during anytime during the day, week, month etc). Is it configurable?
thanks,

Hi Scott,
1.) If optimizing and reclaiming overallocated resources, it will put it back into the capacity pool.
2.) Privileges in vSphere are required in order to perform optimization tasks:
Datastore > Browse datastore
Datastore > Remove file
Sessions > View and stop sessions
Virtual machine > Configuration > Change CPU count
Virtual machine > Configuration > Change resource
Virtual machine > Configuration > Memory
Virtual machine > Interaction > Power Off
Virtual machine > Interaction > Power On
Virtual machine > State > Remove Snapshot
3.) Out of the box, it will show the Peak Utilization over a 30/60/90 day period (30 days by default). It will not show exactly when that occurred, unless you graph it out beforehand, where you set the time frame to a longer period and look at the peak CPU/memory Utilization.
4.) It will make recommendations immediately. For fresh installations, we recommend waiting 30 days before implementing any recommendations. That is configurable to 30/60/90 days. It is in the Settings link. For an existing customer, you can implement immediately, since that data has been collecting all along.
