Rightsizing

Average CPU utilization over the trailing 14 days, from Azure Monitor platform metrics (free, no configuration). VMs below 10% average CPU are flagged as rightsizing candidates.

Fleet CPU utilization

Average trailing-14-day CPU utilization across VMs with at least one Azure Monitor sample; a fleet average can hide individual peaks or VMs with no data at all.
Trailing 14 days
Why this matters

A healthy fleet average can still hide individual over-provisioned VMs — check the table below for VMs flagged as candidates, and the ranking chart for the lowest individual utilization.

0 of 1 VM(s) flagged as rightsizing candidates. Average CPU across 1 VM(s) with data: 22.8% (threshold: 10%).

VMs by CPU-utilization status

Groups VMs with CPU data by the same status threshold as the fleet gauge above; VMs with no metric sample are excluded, not counted as 0%.
1 VM(s) with data
Why this matters

A large share in the lowest-utilization tier is the fleet's biggest rightsizing opportunity — cross-check against the ranking chart and the run-rate composition below to see the dollar value at stake.

Lowest CPU utilization by VM

Ranks VMs with CPU data from lowest average utilization, so the most over-provisioned candidates are easy to spot; capped to the 5 lowest when shown alongside the status donut.
5 VM(s) with data
Why this matters

The lowest bars are candidates worth resizing or shutting down first — check the detail table below for each one's estimated run-rate before deciding.

VM utilization detail

Every VM with ingested utilization data, its trailing-14-day average CPU, sample count, rightsizing-candidate flag, and estimated monthly run-rate; a VM with no samples has these fields blank.
1 VM(s)
Why this matters

A VM flagged as a candidate with a low sample count may not have enough history to act on confidently yet — check the Samples column before resizing based on a handful of data points.

Run-rate is an estimate at current on-demand retail pricing for this VM's SKU/region — not a guaranteed savings figure, and it does not account for any Reservation or Savings Plan already covering the VM (see the Reservations page for those).
