When you first sign in to EDA, you can use the dashboard to observe project usage across your FSx for ONTAP file systems and volumes. The dashboard includes several default filters that you can use to customize the information displayed. Additionally, you can create and apply your own AWS tags to organize and filter the data according to your specific business requirements.

The dashboard helps you monitor storage usage for capacity allocated, capacity used, throughput, and IOPS.

The CloudWatch metrics collected include:

  • Provisioned capacity: Volume-level metric representing the provisioned storage capacity.

  • Used capacity: Volume-level metric representing the storage used.

  • Average/Maximum throughput: Calculated as the average or maximum of the sum of DataReadBytes and DataWriteBytes over the specified time period.

  • Average/Maximum IOPS: Calculated as the average or maximum of the sum of DataReadOperations, DataWriteOperations, and MetadataOperations over the specified time period.

Setup the dashboard

To effectively use the dashboard, configure AWS tags on your FSx for ONTAP volumes based on your business requirements, for example tags that represent projects or business units. For details, see Configure custom filters.

AWS tags are metadata for your AWS resources. They help you categorize your AWS resources in different ways, for example, by project, application, or business unit. For more details about tagging, see What are tags? and AWS Resource Groups Tagging API Reference.

When they are configured, in the Tag configuration page provide the AWS tag key names and the corresponding labels to display in your dashboard.

When these tags are applied, Workload Factory begins collecting and displaying the relevant CloudWatch metrics.

Your dashboard becomes a dynamic tool for organizing, tracking costs, and filtering resources based on your organizational needs.

Configure custom filters

  1. Log in using one of the console experiences.

  2. Select the menu The hamburger menu icon is used to navigate to workloads like storage and then select EDA.

    If you have not already configured your dashboard, you are automatically prompted to do so.

  3. For each filter required, add a filter label name and the AWS tag key name you want to associate with it.

  4. Select Apply.

  5. To view your changes after applying any tags or filters, select the refresh icon on the dashboard. The dynamic dashboard, configured with the new filters, is displayed in your EDA projects dashboard.

  6. To edit the dashboard configuration later, select Configure.

Filter the dashboard

You can filter the information displayed on the dashboard by selecting one or all of the following default filters, as well as any custom filters you have created:

  • Credentials

  • Region

  • File system

  • Volume type

When you have selected your required filters, select the refresh icon to update the dashboard information.
