Purpose
This metadata enables Lucidity Assessment to identify storage inefficiencies, unused capacity, and right-sizing opportunities — helping reduce cloud costs without accessing sensitive information or affecting workloads.
Metadata Collected during the Assessment
To calculate accurate cost-saving opportunities, the assessment collects infrastructure-level metadata only. Lucidity does not access or inspect customer data, applications, files, or traffic.The tool gathers only infrastructure and disk-level metadata, grouped as follows:
VM Identification
vm_id, vm_name, instance_id, instance_type, vm_type, vm_category, vm_state, is_vmss
OS & Platform Details
os_type, os_sku, os_offer, derived_os
Cloud & Subscription Context
tenantId, AccountId, project, subscription_id, subscription_name, resource_group, instance_region, disk_region
Disk Configuration & Utilization
disk_id, disk_name, disk_type, disk_size, data_size, partition_size, available_free_size, disk_state
Performance Characteristics
disk_iops, disk_max_throughput
VM Capacity & Attachment Details
no_of_disks_attached (OS + DATA), max_number_of_data_disks, available_data_Slots, mount_point
Operational Metadata
