Viewing the Dashboard
When you first sign in to the Grid Manager, you can use the Dashboard to monitor system activities at a glance. The Dashboard includes information about health and alarms, usage metrics, and operational trends and charts.
Using the Nodes page
When you need more detailed information about your StorageGRID system than the Dashboard provides, you can use the Nodes page to view metrics for the entire grid, each site in the grid, and each node at a site.
Viewing the Grid Topology tree
The Grid Topology tree provides access to detailed information about StorageGRID system elements, including sites, grid nodes, services, and components. In most cases, you only need to access the Grid Topology tree when instructed in the documentation or when working with technical support.
Information you should monitor regularly
You should monitor the StorageGRID system’s key attributes and metrics regularly. Becoming familiar with system operations can help you spot trends before they turn into problems.
Using reports
You can use reports to monitor the state of the StorageGRID system and troubleshoot problems. The types of reports available in the Grid Manager include pie charts (on the Dashboard only), graphs, and text reports.
