Rule Intro
A “Too
slow” is not enough info.
Page Content
Request
an image of the “Resource Monitor”
Then
after you decide there is justification:
• Do a typical action – take a new
image or baseline.
• give the additional resources e.g. Ram
and processors….
• Do the typical action again – take
another image of the “Resource Monitor”
• If there is some improvement, reply
“done” (otherwise reply “not done”)
Note:
An ideal email subject prefix for more resources would be e.g. “Performance issue
– “Machine name”
Figure: Use “Resource Monitor”
prior to allocating more RAM on a VM

Figure: If you see something like
this, pass their request :-)
