Constrained vCPU VM's from Azure taken into consideration for recommendations

Azure has a class of VM's that have constrained vCPU's for DB vm's that often require high memory, storage and IO bandwidth, but not high core count. So the VM class will basically only use a portion of the core count for that class to save money ...

Support for Nutanix AHV/Prism Central tags

Customer has requested tag support for Nutanix AHV / Prism. Customer noted that tags are only available on Prism Central and not Prism Element. We are currently discovering Nutanix via adding each Element as a Turbo target. It is unclear if Turbon...

Set Action Concurrency per Policy

Customer is using Turbo to migrate VMs from one storage cluster to another. They want to set action concurrency via the UI for the automation policy without impacting the global concurrency settings. For their use case, they wanted to always see 5...

Ability to freeze generated actions for a specific group

I would like the ability to freeze the generated actions for a specific group so that when we notify resources owners of the action a week prior, we take that specific action or none at all on their resource. For example: We sent out notifications...

Allow Account Administrator to delete any user created dashboards

As an account administrator, I am able to create and share dashboards to all users. Any user with the "workload optimizer observer" role is also able to create and share dashboards to all users. Occasionally, new users within turbo (IWO) create da...

Application component actions don't have enough information

If you check the application component pending actions (heap resize) and extract the list to a spreadsheet or print the screen, there's nothing to separate for each area. There's no column for Account or Container cluster as example. In this case,...

Enable VM group creation by filtering on VMware Horizon Persistence state (Persistent vs Non-Persistent VM)

Being able to create Turbonomic groups based on whether a VM is a Persistent or Non-Persistent VDI instance would allow Turbo automation to be managed based on the instance type.

Allow users to choose a group name when saving a scope

A user without site admin privileges cannot create groups explicitly but is able to save a scope resulting in an implicit group creation. Unfortunately the group is named automatically with a cryptic name. Please add a feature to name the resultin...

The metrics pods are erroring out because they cannot have a secret defined for them. This causes many errors. Need to turn them off OR add a secret.

The current metrics pods are used to gather data for the last 14 days so that Turbo instances can instantly give recommendations on being connected to a new target without having to wait 14 days. However in this particular client (and I'm sure oth...

Plan improvements: Downloading all plan results

Turbonomic planning allows us to simulate scenarios to migrate workloads to different clusters to simulate how workloads could be supported on different node sizes. This is a workaround to having Turbo recommend what vertical size node would be be...
