What performance counters can be tracked using thresholds
Some common performance counters, such as IOPS and MB/s, can have thresholds set for all storage objects. There are other counters that can have thresholds set for only certain storage objects.
Available performance counters
Storage object | Performance counter | Description |
---|---|---|
Cluster |
IOPS |
Average number of input/output operations the cluster processes per second. |
MB/s |
Average number of megabytes of data transferred to and from this cluster per second. |
|
Node |
IOPS |
Average number of input/output operations the node processes per second. |
MB/s |
Average number of megabytes of data transferred to and from this node per second. |
|
Latency |
Average number of milliseconds the node takes to respond to application requests. |
|
Utilization |
Average percentage of the node's CPU and RAM that is being used. |
|
Performance Capacity Used |
Average percentage of performance capacity that is being consumed by the node. |
|
Performance Capacity Used - Takeover |
Average percentage of performance capacity that is being consumed by the node, plus the performance capacity of its partner node. |
|
Aggregate |
IOPS |
Average number of input/output operations the aggregate processes per second. |
MB/s |
Average number of megabytes of data transferred to and from this aggregate per second. |
|
Latency |
Average number of milliseconds the aggregate takes to respond to application requests. |
|
Utilization |
Average percentage of the aggregate's disks that are being used. |
|
Performance Capacity Used |
Average percentage of performance capacity that is being consumed by the aggregate. |
|
