The Unused Machines feature recommends termination or power-off for resources that are wasting money because they are not being used. Use the Settings page to configure Unused Machines processes and specify the potential savings that triggers notifications.

1. Navigate to Cloud Insights > Cost Optimization > Unused Machines.
2. On any tab, click Settings and then specify the following settings as needed:

   Field	Value
   Enable Unused Machines	Option for enabling Unused Machines activities. Clearing the check box disables Unused Machines. Default: Enabled
   Notify when predicted savings exceed (%) of total spend	The percentage of overall cloud spend on unused machines that triggers email notification to the users or groups that you specify. The value is calculated using the amount that could be saved if all Unused Machines recommendations are followed. The default value of 15 means that notifications are sent only when the cost of unused machines is greater than 15% of total costs.
   Notify users / Notify groups	The users or groups to notify by email when the spend for unused machines exceeds the specified percentage of overall cloud spend. For information on configuring the email, see Create an email template Create an email template.

3. The default change request templates that the system uses to generate change requests work well in most applications. To specify non-default change templates, follow this procedure.
   1. Select the Advanced check box.
   2. Select the tab for the approval type to configure.
   3. Specify the script include to use for change requests when a resource matches a policy of the specified type.
      Default values:

      • Auto-approval (Standard Change) policies (the Assignment group is derived from the Standard Change template and cannot be overridden): CLINRSStandardChangeRequestUtil
      • Manual approval (Normal Change) policies: CLINRSNormalChangeRequestUtil

      Note: You cannot modify the default scripts.
4. Click Submit or Update.
