Performance metrics

ApplianceWatch monitors several performance metrics. You can use these metrics to monitor the state of your storage controllers and configurations, as well as to identify usage patterns.

Types of metrics include CPU utilization, I/O operations, I/O throughput, latency, and protocols.

• CPU utilization
  You can use the CPU utilization graph to determine how much space you have used, how you have utilized it, and how much space you have left on your storage controllers.
• I/O operations
  You can use the I/O operations graph to monitor the communication between your storage controllers and servers.
• I/O throughput
  You can use the I/O throughput graph to monitor the productivity of your storage controllers.
• Latency
  You can use the Latency graph to monitor for any unusual delays among your storage controllers.
• Protocols
  You can use the Protocols graphs to determine how well the storage controllers perform based on its protocols.
