Request to Retain Turbonomic Action History for 390 Days

We request the ability for Turbonomic to retain the full history of generated actions for up to 390 days (13 months).Customers want to analyze how recommended actions for their on-premises environments evolve over a longer period, specifically across an annual cycle.

They require visibility into:

  • How resource utilization changes over time throughout the year
  • What optimization actions were recommended in response to those changes

This long-term perspective is essential for understanding trends, validating Turbonomic’s decision-making, and supporting strategic capacity planning.


Current Limitation:

Turbonomic currently provides the ability to retain:

  • Succeeded Actions
  • Failed Actions

for a desired period of time.

However, it appears that:

  • Not all generated (recommended) actions are retained long-term
  • Historical visibility into all recommendations is limited
  • Users cannot easily review the full history of action suggestions for a specific resource over an extended period

Use case:

Customers want to review:

  • The history of actions recommended for a specific resource (e.g., a virtual machine)
  • Over a long-term period such as the past 13 months (390 days)

For example, Provide a view where users can see all recommended actions for a given virtual machine over the past year.

This is particularly important for:

  • Environments with gradual or seasonal workload changes
  • Audit and validation purposes
  • Long-term optimization analysis
