Understanding Trends
Trend Indicators
| ↑ Up | Usage is increasing - may need to scale soon |
| → Stable | Usage is consistent - capacity is balanced |
| ↓ Down | Usage is decreasing - consider right-sizing |
Usage Thresholds
- 0-60% (Green): Healthy utilization with room for growth
- 60-80% (Orange): Moderate usage - monitor closely
- 80-100% (Red): High usage - scaling recommended
Capacity Planning Best Practices
- Maintain at least 20% headroom for unexpected spikes
- Review capacity weekly during growth periods
- Set alerts when usage exceeds 75% for early warning
- Consider your peak hours when planning capacity
Forecasting
The forecasting feature analyzes historical data to predict future resource needs:
- Meeting Load Forecast: Predicted number of concurrent meetings
- Participant Growth: Expected participant count trends
- Recording Projection: Recording count growth rate
Scaling Recommendations
Based on your usage patterns, the system may recommend:
- Add Servers: When CPU/memory consistently exceeds 75%
- Increase Storage: When disk usage exceeds 80%
- Remove Servers: When resources are consistently underutilized
