Why each option
CPU usage and memory usage are fundamental resources that are consistently measured for effective capacity planning.
CPU usage is a critical metric for capacity planning as it indicates the processing power consumed by applications, helping to determine if more CPU cores or faster processors will be needed to meet future demand.
While disk *space* usage is monitored, general 'disk usage' is less of a direct capacity planning metric than CPU or memory usage; disk I/O performance is often more relevant.
Application load time is a performance metric reflecting user experience, but it is a *result* of resource availability rather than a primary resource *measurement* for capacity planning itself.
Memory usage, particularly the resident set size, is essential for capacity planning to assess how much RAM applications consume and to predict if current memory resources will be sufficient as workloads grow.
