Performance monitoring

Performance of the SVM can be monitored by the metric.* and statistics.* properties. These show the performance of the SVM in terms of IOPS, latency and throughput. The metric.* properties denote an average whereas statistics.* properties denote a real-time monotonically increasing value aggregated across all nodes.
