US Patent 11947436 Automatic evaluation of virtual machine computing power

A set of virtual machines is deployed on a hypervisor. At each virtual machine, one or more local scans is performed to generate a set of computing resource consumption data. In response to receiving a set of hypervisor resource consumption data, a stability factor is generated. Based on the set of resource consumption data, the set of hypervisor resource consumption data, and the stability factor, a determination is made that a default consumption metric exceeds a threshold. In response to the determination, a custom consumption metric is generated, based on at least the set of computing resource consumption data. A user is notified of the custom consumption metric.
