Insight helps you to prevent problems in your environment and troubleshoot potential problems quickly.
More information
Asset page data
Asset pages provide performance troubleshooting data and present summary information about a base asset (such as a virtual machine or a volume) and the related assets it uses (such as storage pools, storage nodes, and connected switch ports), with links to additional information.
Balancing network resources
To resolve balancing issues, use the asset pages to find the problems and identify high capacity volumes that are underused.
Examining network performance
You can examine your storage environment performance and identify under-utilized and over-utilized resources and identify risks before they turn into problems.
Fibre Channel environment monitoring
Using OnCommand Insight's Fibre Channel asset pages, you can monitor the performance and inventory of the fabrics in your environment and be aware of any changes that might cause issues.
Time-to-live (TTL) and downsampled data
Starting with OnCommand Insight 7.3, data retention or time-to-live (TTL) has been increased to from 7 to 90 days. Because that means much more data is processed for charts and tables and the potential for tens of thousands of datapoints, data is downsampled before being displayed.
Pruning of inventory history
Starting with version 7.3.2, Insight keeps inventory (foundation) change history for 90 days. Previous versions of Insight kept all inventory change history from the time of installation. Following an upgrade from an older version of Insight, older inventory history is pruned down to and then kept at 90 days.
NAS path for VMs OnCommand Insight 7.3 supports NAS paths for Virtual Machines to storage shares. These paths are similar to NAS paths for hosts to storage shares. When a VM's IP address is allowed to access a share, a NAS path is created.
Capacity as Time Series
With OnCommand Insight 7.3.1, capacity information is reported and charted as time series data.
