Overview
The Performance Analytics Content Pack for Cloud Resources works with Discovery and Cloud Provisioning and Governanceand supports these
platforms: Amazon AWS Cloud, Microsoft Azure public clouds,
and VMware vCenter. The aggregate count of each cloud resource and the latest Cloud Discovery error logs are displayed on the dashboard. You can filter the
cloud resources by the service account, data center, or resource group (only for Microsoft Azure) under a specific provider and view the resource count and the
resources.
For each cloud provider, a separate scheduled job is triggered every 30 minutes. The latest
CI data is updated in the cloud resource analytic tables which allows the dashboard to be
more realistic and have the updated count. The information about each scheduled job is
available in the table: sn_disco_cd_cloud_dashboard_job_status. The job details like the
provider type, status, start time, end time, and duration are stored in this table.
The reports for the cloud dashboard widgets are generated from the cloud resource
analytical tables. The analytical tables are populated through the scheduled job. The
scheduled job queries the new database views and inserts and updates the records into the
analytical tables.
The scheduled job can run for a maximum of 120 minutes. The maximum job timeout value is
set using a system property - sn_disco_cd.scheduled_job_time_out_in_mins. If the scheduled
job exceeds 120 minutes, or the time set in this property, then the job is cancelled.
