How to get OV instance Resource Utilization itself

[HPESeven]

Dear, all, 

Good day to you.

May I know if there is any possibility that I can get OV instance  Resource Utilization itself?
Like the Usage of CPU, Memory, and Disk.
So far, as I can see, the rest API does not support to do that. and OV instance report/dashboard also could not find anything related to that.
Please kindly let me know if you have any good ideas,  thanks much

The appliance REST API does and can report that I for stion. However, what would you use the information for? The appliance is a closed, secure system where we do not provide ways for customers to modify the internals.

Hi, Chris 

Good day,

The default OVF file allocates 8 CPUs, 24 GiB memory, and 270 GiB disk to the OV instance. I want to monitor the utilization of these resources and find a suitable allocation that matches my specific usage scenario. If I am monitoring a limited number of servers in theory, I do not need that many resources. For example, I can modify the disk capacity to 128 GiB and the memory size to 16 GiB to avoid resource waste.
Conversely, if I am monitoring a large number of servers and require more resources based on their utilization, I can increase the allocations accordingly.
Thanks

Unfortunately, this is not how the appliance works. We document the requirements and are defined in the virtual machine template the same. Reducing or changing the resource allocations is not supported.
