Configure datacenters for Cloud vs Non-cloud resources in Service Graph Workspace

The Cloud vs Non-cloud resources chart in the insights view in Service Graph Workspace determines which CIs and service instances (application services) are stored on a cloud and which aren't in the organization. In addition to base system classifications, you can add cloud vs. non-cloud classifications that reflect specific datacenter deployments in the organization.

About this task

The Datacenter Types [sn_cmdb_ws_datacenter_type] table stores datacenter classes with a classification of being used as a cloud storage or not in the organization. The calculations for the Cloud vs Non-cloud resources chart in the Insights view in Service Graph Workspace, reflects on the datacenters in that table and their classifications.

CIs are counted as non-cloud mainly if either of the following conditions is met:

• The CI is not associated with any datacenter.
• The CI is associated with a datacenter that is classified as non-cloud in the Datacenter Types table.

In the base system, the Datacenter Types table contains several common datacenters. For example, the Azure Datacenter [cmdb_ci_azure_datacenter] class is classified as 'Cloud'. Therefore, the Cloud vs Non-cloud resources chart includes in its calculations and bars the Azure Datacenter [cmdb_ci_azure_datacenter] class.
