Configuring Cloud Insights system properties

You can set some property values on the System Properties form, but other lesser-used properties are available only on the System Property [sys_properties] table.

System properties for Billing Download jobs

sn_cld_intg_core.ci_placement_threads_number

Number of threads that are used by CI placement flow to create CIs in the billing process.

Type: integer
Default value: 4
Location: System properties

sn_cld_intg_aws.max_unprocessed_records_for_ci_placement

Maximum number of records to read in one batch from the AWS Cost And Usage Bill Data table for CI Placement.

Type: integer
Default value: 300000
Location: System properties

sn_cld_intg_aws.min_unprocessed_records_for_ci_placement

Minimum number of records to read in one batch from the AWS Cost And Usage Bill Data table for CI Placement.

Type: integer
Default value: 100000
Location: System properties

System properties for Spend analysis

sn_cld_spend_core.metricbase_transform_limit

Maximum number of Billing records to use in one Metric Base transform.

Type: integer
Default value: 100000
Location: System properties

sn_cld_spend_core.spend_report_flow_launcher_chunk_size

Number of non-empty CI chunks to send to the spend flow launcher.

Type: integer
Default value: 40
Location: System properties

sn_cld_spend_core.spend_report_per_chunk_workload_size

Number of workloads (CI ranges and metadata) for each chunk in the spend flow launcher.

Type: integer
Default value: 1000
Location: System properties

sn_cld_spend_aws.num_months_forecast

Number of future months after the current month for which the AWS Forecast spend is retrieved during every execution of the Spend job.

Type: integer
Default value: 2
Location: System properties

System properties for Business Hours

Note: The collection of data for a single download of billing or price sheet data is called a workload. Data in a workload is held in sets of data called chunks. You can specify the size of each chunk and the number of chunks in a workload.

sn_clin_core.bh_report.batch_size

The number of resources to include in a Business Hours report batch.

Type: integer
Default value: 5000
Location: System properties

sn_clin_core.bh_recom_max_chunk_size

Number of records used to create workload chunks of rightsizing recommendations. If you set a value greater than glide.db.max_view_records, then the glide.db.max_view_records value is used instead. A smaller number means more chunks and a larger number means fewer chunks.

Records considered in one execution of generating recommendations = (number of chunks) * (data records/chunk)

Type: integer
Default value: 10000
Location: System properties

sn_clin_core.bh_recom_num_chunks_per_workload

Number of chunks per workload. This value times the value of sn_clin_core.bh_recom_max_chunk_size is the total number of records per workload when generating rightsizing recommendations.

Records considered in one execution of generating recommendations = (number of chunks) * (data records/chunk)

Type: integer
Default value: 10
Location: System properties

System properties for Microsoft Azure

mid.azure_action.batch_size

Use batch_size to set the batch size to fewer than 20 for action calls like Stop, Start, Modify (resize), Terminate, and Describe.

Cloud Insights uses the Azure Batch API to make a bulk request for the actions. By default, Azure Batch supports a maximum of 20 for the synchronous call.

Type: integer
Default value: 20
Location: System properties

System properties for Rightsizing and Unused Machines operations for Microsoft Azure

Note: The collection of data for a single set of recommendations is called a workload. Data in a workload is held in sets of data called chunks. You can specify the size of each chunk and the number of chunks in a workload.

sn_cld_intg_azure.az_rs_recommendation_queue_orchestrator_polling_time

Polling time for the Microsoft Azure recommendation orchestrator to check the status of the generate, get generate status, list recommendation, or process recommendation call and move it to the next stage for processing.

Note: A short polling time is better in the case of fewer subscriptions.

Type: integer
Default value: 5000 (ms)
Location: System properties

sn_cld_intg_azure.chunk_size_generate_recommendation_subscriptions

Number of subscriptions to be processed by each workload. Each workload creates a maximum of 5 threads to process 10 subscriptions in parallel based on the available MID Server worker threads.

Changing the setting to lower number increases the number of created workloads. Generate Recommendation is a asynchronous API call that quickly returns the generate recommendation operation ID.

Note: For fewer than 50 subscriptions, you can decrease the value to enable parallel processing. For example, for 40 subscriptions, changing the chunk size to 10 allows 4 workloads to process subscriptions. By default, a maximum of 3 parallel workload executions are allowed. The maximum is configured in the flow launcher job that is defined in the sn_cld_intg_core_flow_launcher_job_config table.

Type: integer
Default value: 5
Location: System properties

sn_cld_intg_azure.advisor_get_status_min_chunk_size

Minimum number of subscriptions to process in a workload for Get generate status API call.

The call creates a new workload when the specified minimum chunk size is met and, after all subscriptions are processed, does not create another workload.

Note: By default, a maximum of 4 parallel workload executions are allowed. The maximum is configured in the flow launcher job that is defined in the sn_cld_intg_core_flow_launcher_job_config table.

Type: integer
Default value: 5
Location: System properties

sn_cld_intg_azure.advisor_list_recommendation_min_chunk_size

Minimum number of subscriptions to process in a workload for the list recommendation API call.

The call creates a new workload when the specified minimum chunk size is met and, after all subscriptions are processed, does not create another workload.

Note: Increasing the chunk size might increase the overall processing time because subscriptions are processed sequentially. By default, a maximum of 4 parallel workload executions are allowed. The maximum is configured in the flow launcher job that is defined in the sn_cld_intg_core_flow_launcher_job_config table.

Type: integer
Default value: 1
Location: System properties

sn_clin_azure.advisor_process_recommendation_min_chunk_size

The number of recommendation responses that should be processed in a workload for the API call and persisted in the Rightsizing or Unused Machines recommendation table.

The call creates a new workload when the specified minimum chunk size is met and, after all subscriptions are processed, does not create another workload.

Type: integer
Default value: 20
Location: System properties
