Understand Tenant Manager dashboard

Contributors netapp-lhalbert

The Tenant Manager dashboard provides an overview of a tenant account's configuration and the amount of space used by objects in the tenant's buckets (S3) or containers (Swift). If the tenant has a quota, the dashboard shows how much of the quota is used and how much is remaining. If there are any errors related to the tenant account, the errors are shown on the dashboard.

Note The Space used values are estimates. These estimates are affected by the timing of ingests, network connectivity, and node status.

When objects have been uploaded, the dashboard looks like the following example:

Dashboard - Bucket List

Tenant account information

The top of the dashboard displays the number of configured buckets or containers, groups, and users. It also displays the number of platform services endpoints, if any have been configured. Select the links to view the details.

Depending on the tenant management permissions you have and the options you've configured, the remainder of the dashboard displays various combinations of guidelines, storage usage, object information, and tenant details.

Storage and quota usage

The Storage usage panel contains the following information:

  • The amount of object data for the tenant.

    This value indicates the total amount of object data uploaded and does not represent the space used to store copies of those objects and their metadata.

  • If a quota is set, the total amount of space available for object data and the amount and percentage of space remaining. The quota limits the amount of object data that can be ingested.

    Caution Quota usage is based on internal estimates and might be exceeded in some cases. For example, StorageGRID checks the quota when a tenant starts uploading objects and rejects new ingests if the tenant has exceeded the quota. However, StorageGRID does not take into account the size of the current upload when determining if the quota has been exceeded. If objects are deleted, a tenant might be temporarily prevented from uploading new objects until the quota usage is recalculated. Quota usage calculations can take 10 minutes or longer.
  • A bar chart that represents the relative sizes of the largest buckets or containers.

    You can place your cursor over any of the chart segments to view the total space consumed by that bucket or container.

    Bar Chart Segment
  • To correspond with the bar chart, a list of the largest buckets or containers, including the total amount of object data and the number of objects for each bucket or container.

    Tenant Dashboard Buckets

    If the tenant has more than nine buckets or containers, all other buckets or containers are combined into a single entry at the bottom of the list.

Note To change units for the storage values displayed in the Tenant Manager, select the user drop-down in the upper right of the Tenant Manager, then select User preferences.

Quota usage alerts

If quota usage alerts have been enabled in the Grid Manager, these alerts will appear in the Tenant Manager when the quota is low or exceeded, as follows:

  • If 90% or more of a tenant's quota has been used, the Tenant quota usage high alert is triggered.

    Consider asking your grid administrator to increase the quota.

  • If you exceed your quota, a notification tells you that you can't upload new objects.

Capacity limit usage

If you've set a capacity limit for your buckets, the Tenant Manager dashboard displays a list of top buckets by capacity limit usage.

If no limit is set for a bucket, its capacity is unlimited. However, if your tenant account has a total storage quota and that quota is reached, you won't be able to ingest more objects regardless of the remaining capacity limit on a bucket.

Endpoint errors

If you have used the Grid Manager to configure one or more endpoints for use with platform services, the Tenant Manager dashboard displays an alert if any endpoint errors have occurred within the past seven days.
