Databricks Health Check ROI app

You can use the Unravel Databricks Health Check App to analyze and optimize the efficiency of your Databricks environment.. It gives you insights into costs, resource usage, and efficiency, covering areas like your user, workspace, cluster, and job details. The app also provides recommendations for optimizing your workloads, finding potential savings through job migration, and analyzing your cluster-related costs and wastage.

Benefits
  • Cost visibility: Gain insights into daily cost trends and understand the breakdown across users, workspaces, clusters, and jobs.

  • Resource Optimization: Identify opportunities to optimize workloads by analyzing average CPU, memory, and disk usage.

  • Cluster Efficiency: Evaluate the efficiency of interactive/all-purpose clusters, including trends and detailed cost breakdowns.

  • Identify Potential Savings: Identify potential cost savings by migrating workloads from interactive/all-purpose clusters to automated clusters. Analyze periods of cluster wastage, attributing a dollar value estimate, and explore potential savings by moving workloads.

  • Workload Classification: Classify workloads based on worker memory and CPU utilization, aiding in the identification of optimization candidates.

Installing and launching Databricks Healthcheck ROI App

Workload (Healthcheck ROI App)

The Workload page of the Healthcheck ROI app helps you understand and optimize your Databricks setup. Dive in to analyze how your resources like CPU, memory, and disk are used. Explore detailed insights into your workloads and get actionable recommendations. You can also organize your workloads based on worker resources and find areas for improvement. Identify which workloads can be fine-tuned for better performance and explore opportunities to save costs through migration.

Analyze Workload Efficiency

Analyze the workload efficiency using the Workload Optimization and Migration Savings tabs.

  1. Open the Healthcheck ROI app.

  2. Click Workloads . The Workload Optimization is opened by default. Scroll down to view the required information.

  3. Click Migration Savings to explore the migration savings.

Workload Optimization

You can analyze the Workload Optimization, Worker Resource, and Driver Resource in this tab.

  • Workload Optimization: View details about cluster utilization and saving opportunities in this tab. You can identify workloads that might be under or over-utilized.

    Click the required row for available recommendations on node rightsizing and more granular resource utilization numbers.

Analyzing the Interactive clusters

This tab allows you to analyze the interactive/all-purpose clusters for wastage, identify periods when the cluster was active without running processes, and assign a corresponding dollar value estimate. Additionally, find estimates indicating potential savings achievable by transitioning workloads from these clusters to automated alternatives.

  1. Open the Healthcheck ROI app.

  2. Click the Clusters tab. The Clusters page is displayed.

You can view the following information in this tab:

  • Total Clusters: View the total number of clusters.

  • Total Session Cost: Analyze total costs associated with cluster sessions.

  • Total Wastage Cost: Identify costs associated with the wastage periods.

  • Cluster Migration Savings: Estimate potential savings by migrating workloads to automated clusters.

  • Estimated Savings: Receive an estimate of potential cost savings.

  • Savings: Receive an estimate of potential cost savings in percentage.
