For us to be able to perform optimization tasks, capacity and utilization data must be collected from across the virtual infrastructure in the hybrid cloud environment. Red Hat CloudForms provides certain server roles that, when enabled, collect this data, which can then be used to see trends and perform capacity planning for the future. There are three server roles that facilitate the collection and processing of capacity and utilization metrics. They are as follows:
Capacity and utilization coordinator: This role basically acts as a scheduler and, at the correct time, queues a capacity and utilization collection job. In a single zone, there can only be one such role active at a time.
Capacity and utilization data collector: This role actions or performs the job that is queued by the capacity and utilization coordinator. There can be more than one CFME servers running this role and functioning at the same time.
