Health: Provides an indication of the system's health by showing the number of disconnected grid nodes and the number of current alarms. Shows license status if there are license-related alerts.
Information Lifecycle Management (ILM): Displays current ILM operations and ILM queues for your StorageGRID Webscale system.
Protocol Operations: Displays the number of protocol specific operations performed by your StorageGRID Webscale system. You can use this information to monitor your system's workloads and efficiencies.
Available Storage: Shows the available and used storage capacity on the grid, not including archival media. With this information, you can compare the used storage with the available storage and, in a multi-site grid, determine which site is consuming more storage.
