Baseline information is operational data during normal system operations that provides clues that can help you solve problems.
You can gather useful baseline information using the StorageGRID Webscale system:
| Property | Value | How to obtain |
|---|---|---|
| Average size of ingested objects | _____________ MB |
Divide the average number of bytes stored daily by the average number of objects stored daily. |
| Average size of retrieved objects | _____________ MB |
Divide the average number of bytes retrieved daily by the average number of objects retrieved daily. |
| Average storage consumption | _____________/consumed/day GB _____________/consumed/day % |
Go to the Grid Management Interface Dashboard, and click  in the Available Storage chart panel.Find a period where the operation is fairly stable and estimate the daily storage consumption rate in bytes and in percentage. You can collect this information for the entire system or a subset of it. |
| Rate of S3/Swift Operations | _____________Operations/s |
Select . Under API Operations, view the S3 Operations - Rate field. |
| Failed S3/Swift Operations | _____________ |
Select . Under API Operations, view the S3 Operations - Failed field. |
| Average ILM Evaluation Time | _____________ us |
Select . Under Information Lifecycle Management, view the Average ILM Evaluation Time field. |
| ILM Evaluation Rate | _____________Objects/s |
Select . Under Information Lifecycle Management, view the ILM Evaluation Rate field. |
| Average Query Latency | _____________ ms |
Select . Under Queries, view the Average Query Latency field. |
| Failed Queries | _____________ |
Select . Under Queries, view the Total Queries - Failed (Timed-Out) field. |
| Failed Queries for Consistency Level Unmet | _____________ |
Select . Under Queries, view the Total Queries - Failed (Consistency Level Unmet) field. |
The following sample screenshot shows how you can select each attribute under each service to view baseline values for that attribute on the Overview tab:
