View optimization insights and recommendations

After connecting to your Data Center instance, we'll automatically start assessing its performance and generating instance optimization insights. It may take up to twenty hours to generate your insights as we collect your data and assess your instance.

View optimization insights

To view the assessment:

  1. In Portfolio insights, open the Apps tab.

  2. Select any Jira Data Center instance.

  3. In the right-hand panel, select View insights. You'll be moved to your instance optimization assessment.

Understand optimization insights

The optimization assessment evaluates your Jira instance across two key areas:

Sample Jira Data Center optimization report

Guardrails status and performance indicators

The optimization assessment evaluates your Jira instance across two key areas:

Guardrails status

  • Monitors key system metrics against recommended maximum values

  • Helps prevent performance and stability issues before they impact users

  • Provides early warning when metrics approach or exceed recommended thresholds

Performance indicators

  • Tracks critical metrics across all instance nodes

  • Identifies potential bottlenecks and performance risks

  • Helps maintain optimal user experience

Description

Guardrails

Approaching limit

Metric is nearing the recommended threshold

Exceeding limit

Metric has exceeded the recommended threshold

Critical

Metric has significantly exceeded the threshold, posing severe risks

Performance indicators

Recommendations aside for guardrails

When you select guardrail or performance indicator, a detailed panel opens on the right side of the screen. This panel provides:

  • Metric name: The metric being measured

  • Status: Current status with color coding

  • Current value and threshold: Your value compared to the recommended limit

  • Node status overview (for performance indicators): Visual representation of the metric across nodes

  • Insight: A brief explanation of what this guardrail measures, its optimal value, why it's important, and the impact of exceeding the threshold

  • Recommendations to improve:

    • Primary recommendation with detailed explanation

    • Additional recommendations (if applicable)

  • Resources: Links to relevant documentation and identification queries

Taking action

To optimize your instance:

  1. Start with the Top recommendations to optimize your instance section at the top of the page.

  2. Focus on high-impact recommendations first

  3. For each recommendation:

    • Read the detailed explanation

    • Follow the recommended actions

    • Use the provided resources (documentation, queries) to implement changes

  4. Monitor your instance's performance after implementing changes

Remember, some changes may take time to reflect the insights and they are updated daily at UTC+3.
