Capacity usage spike

Hi all - 

 

We just got a warning about 100% usage on our capacity. It seems like one specific item spiked it, and its now returned to normal. 

 

How do we identify the item that caused the spike to happen? I am in the usage app, but i cant figure out what the cause was. screenshot below showing the spike and how its since returned to normal.

if you right click on the red line, you should be able to drillthrough to the timepoint, and see which item is causing the spike.

Here some info to navigate through the timepoint page:

a temporary spike is fine as long as there no throttling..

Here some info on throttling

as long as the blue line doesnt reach 100%, you are good.

thank you! was expecting to see one large item in there, but oddly its a bunch of small things bundled together. not helping solve the case. but, this led me in the right direction.
