Forecasting
Site24x7's forecasting feature for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) uses historical data trends to predict future usage of monitored resources. By analyzing resource consumption over time, Site24x7 forecasts potential future performance metrics and resource usage for various OCI services, such as compute instances, storage, and networking. The system uses machine learning models to identify patterns and project future consumption, helping you plan and manage resources efficiently.
Use case
Let's say you are managing an OCI Block Volume monitored by Site24x7. You want to ensure that it doesn't run out of space, which could cause application performance issues. Site24x7's Zia Forecast dashboard provides a detailed forecast for your Block Volume.
The Zia Forecast chart for the Block Volume shows that free storage space is predicted to drop below 10% of the total capacity within the next five days. This trend is predicted based on the volume's historical data growth pattern. As a result, you can proactively manage your storage space, avoiding capacity issues and maintaining optimal performance in your OCI environment.
