Viewing the NAS Bridge dashboard

The NAS Bridge dashboard displays pre-configured graphs showing system metrics.

About this task

The NAS Bridge dashboard includes standard graphs for the following:

Cache Usage
Intent Log Size
Disk Rate
Network Rate
CPU Load
Memory

You can view the information on the dashboard to quickly assess the current state of the NAS Bridge node.

The standard NAS Bridge dashboard is read-only and cannot be modified.

Attention: If you make changes to the standard dashboard, you must use Save as to save your changes.

Graph	Description
Cache Usage	Shows cache usage for each cache device over the specified time frame (the default is "Today so far"). Use the Cache Device drop-down list to select which cache device is shown. The Cache Usage graph includes two lines, as follows: The Cache line shows the usage of the main cache. The main cache offers superior performance and consumes 80% of the available space on the cache device. The main cache is used for all new files that are written to nodes running NAS Bridge 2.0.2 (or higher). The Legacy Cache line shows the usage of the legacy cache. The legacy cache consumes 20% of the available space on the cache device. The Legacy Cache is used for file and directory metadata and for queuing metadata after it is committed to the StorageGRID Webscale system.
Intent Log Size	Shows the Intent Log Size for each file system over the specified time frame (the default is "Today so far"). The Intent Log Size represents the degree to which the files in the cache have been "cleaned" (that is, persisted to the StorageGRID Webscale system). A non-zero value means that there are still operations in the queue to commit "dirty" files that have not been persisted to the StorageGRID Webscale system. A zero value means that all objects in the cache have been persisted. Use the File System drop-down list to select which file system is shown.
Disk Rate	Shows the number of bytes of data that were read and written per second by each disk in the system over the specified time frame (default is "Today so far"). The example screen shot shows two disks: sda and sdb.
Network Rate	Shows the data rate between the network and the node over the specified time frame (default is "Today so far"). Also includes tables showing the minimum, maximum, and average rates for received and transmitted data.
CPU Load	Shows the CPU load over the specified time frame (default is "Today so far"). This chart includes three lines that show the average load for 1-minute, 5-minute, and 10-minute intervals.
Memory	Shows RAM usage for the node in gibibytes (GiB) over the specified time frame (default is "Today so far"). The Total line shows the total amount of RAM available and does not change. The Used line shows how much RAM is currently being used.
