REAL TIME CAPACITY MONITORING

Capacity status is computed in overnight reports. By the time a saturated link or full storage pool appears in a report, it has already been throttling services for hours.

Actors

  • NOC Engineer
  • Capacity Planner
  • Head of Infrastructure

Systems / Vendors

  • SolarWinds
  • Splunk
  • Grafana

Business Question

"Last night's report says the link hit ninety-five percent at 2pm yesterday — what use is that to me now?"

What SPoG Does

  • Monitors network and resource capacity live, not in yesterday's batch report.
  • Alerts as utilization approaches thresholds, while intervention is still cheap.
  • Feeds live capacity data into incident triage so saturation is ruled in or out instantly.
