​
Standard Data Collection

Cloudex collects configuration and utilization data from your public cloud environments and then analyzes the data to provide resizing recommendations to run your cloud-based applications on the correct infrastructure.
 Before creating a connection you need to grant access to Densify so that it can connect to your accounts and collect data. Granting access is slightly different for each of the supported cloud providers: Once you have completed the prerequisites you can create the connections using the Add button. See the following for details.

​
Reviewing Data Collection Status

Once the connections are created, data will be collected and stored for detailed analysis. As data is collected the Connections table is populated/updated with the status of each connection.
 Data collection details will appear in this table within a few minutes, but your instance-specific data will not appear in the tree viewer until it has been analyzed, usually within 24-hrs. This is also the case for all reports/tabs that show the analyzed data and resulting recommendations.
ColumnDescription
Connection NameThe name of connection, as specified when you create the connection.
If the name is longer than the column width, hover over the name to see the full string in a popup.
Cloud ProviderThe name of the public cloud provider.
No. of Accounts | Subscriptions | ProjectsThe specific subscription or project name or account number.
First CollectionThe date and time on which data was first collected.
Last CollectionThe date and time on which data was last collected.
Latest Service CountThe number of services that were discovered during the last collection. This value is populated only after data collection has been run once, and immediately after a connection has been created.
The last collection data and service count are updated each time data is collected. This is done daily, on a schedule that usually runs overnight.
