Adding a Server to the Profiler
At the first login following installation of HX Workload Profiler, you are redirected to the landing page where you can find the + Add Workload option on the top right corner of the page. You can select Kubernetes, then you can add multiple Kubernetes nodes.
To calculate the metrics for a host, the Profiler captures the metrics for all the Containers on the Nodes. You then need to select the worker nodes to be profiled. By default, all the worker nodes are selected.
The workflow includes:
-
General tab: Records your Kubernetes node details and then connects to the Kubernetes. If the connection succeeds, the Next button displays enabling you to select the profiling settings.
-
Profiling Setting tab:, which provides:
-
Profile Name: for specifying the name of the profile which must be unique.
-
Profile period: for specifying the period of profiling. Default value is 7days and the minimum value is 1day.
-
Polling Interval: for specifies the frequency for which polling should occur.
-
Quick Profile: for a quick estimate
-
