Percentage capacity metric
We’re introducing the new percentage capacity metric,
nginxaas.capacity.percentage
, which provides a more accurate estimate of your deployment’s load compared to the previous consumed NCUs metric. The new capacity metric expresses the capacity consumed as a percentage of the deployment’s total capacity. Please modify any alerts and monitoring on deployment performance to use the new percentage capacity metric. The consumed NCUs metric is being deprecated and will be removed in the near future. Please see Scaling guidance for more details.
