I am looking to build a dashboard using the Generic Query Interface (GQI) which shows a clear status of element capacity across my DMS.

The idea being I can forecast growth and utilisation.

Hi Ian,
With capacity are you referring to how many elements I can run in a DMA based on the license? Or based on the load (CPU, memory) in a DMA?

The question was not very well phrased. It should read, show the element capacity per DMA within a DMS 🙂 Taking into account active / disabled elements as a filter.

Hi Ian,

If you need something today you might want to build a connector to get this data. This connector can retrieve the number of elements each hour and compare it with the max number of allowed elements on each Agent. If you enable trending on those parameters, you can see how the capacity usage evolves overtime.
