Activate the Overview dashboard to begin collecting CloudWatch metrics for your FSx for ONTAP file systems. Once activated, the dashboard provides centralized monitoring of cluster health, capacity, and throughput.

Before you begin

Ensure you meet the following requirements before activating the dashboard.

AWS credentials with view permissions

You must configure AWS credentials in Workload Factory with at least read (view) permissions for General Storage. Basic credentials are not supported.

If you haven't configured credentials with view permissions, you are redirected to the AWS credentials setup page when you open the Overview tab.

If you haven't configured AWS credentials, see Add AWS credentials.

Activate the dashboard

After Workload Factory confirms credentials with view permissions, you must activate the dashboard to begin collecting CloudWatch metrics for your FSx for ONTAP file systems.

Note Metrics collection can take some time after you provide consent. The dashboard notifies you while the initial collection is in progress.
Steps

  1. Log in using one of the console experiences.

  2. Select the menu The hamburger menu icon and then select EDA.

  3. Select the Overview tab.

  4. If no credentials with view permissions are detected, select Add credentials and follow the prompts to configure AWS credentials with view permissions. Then return to the Overview tab.

  5. Review the consent prompt describing the CloudWatch metrics that will be collected for your FSx for ONTAP file systems.

  6. Select Activate to activate the dashboard and begin metrics collection.

Result

Workload Factory begins collecting CloudWatch metrics for all FSx for ONTAP file systems associated with your configured AWS credentials. The dashboard populates as metrics become available. A notification is displayed if collection is still in progress.

Next steps

After activating the dashboard, you can:

  • Use the Overview dashboard to monitor cluster health and capacity

  • Configure SSD capacity management modes (Automate, Recommend, or None)

  • Set up filters to focus on specific regions or AWS accounts
