Viewing the SteelFusion Edge Trends
The SteelFusion Edge Trends report summarizes the standard I/O data traffic read from and written by the selected Edge for the specified period of time with a granularity of 5 minutes. The report also summarizes time series information for average commit delay and uncommitted data for all connected Edges.
You can choose from several graphs in the Edge Report drop-down list:
• SteelFusion Edge Read/Write Throughput
• Average Commit Delay at All Edges
• Uncommitted Data at All Edges
If you have set up the Core for high-availability, the SteelFusion Edge Trends report shows the average across all Edges that are served by individual Cores. If one Core is down, the report shows the average across all Edges served by both Cores.
What This Report Tells You
The SteelFusion Edge Trends report answers these questions:
• How many megabytes have been prefetched to, written by, and read from the selected Edge for the specified period?
• What is the average delay (in seconds) for committing data at all Edges?
• How much uncommitted data (in bytes) is accumulated at all Edges?
To view the SteelFusion Edge Trends report
1. Choose Reports > Storage: SteelFusion Edge Trends to display the SteelFusion Edge Trends page.
2. Customize the report using the controls described in this table.
Control | Description |
Edge | Select the Edge whose statistics you want to see from the drop-down list. |
Period settings | Click 5m (last five minutes), 1h (last hour), 1d (last day), 1w (last week), or All (last month). For a custom time period, specify the start and end times in the fields immediately below these settings. Use the following format: yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss. You can also use the adjustable slider at the bottom of the graph. |
Report type | Select the type of report to display: • Read/Write/Prefetch Throughput • Average Commit Delay at All Edges • Uncommitted Data at All Edges |
Note: If an Edge becomes disconnected, the report continues to show the aggregated time statistics. The values are averaged across all Edges that are currently connected to the Core. If one Edge becomes idle, the page also continues to show the aggregated time statistics. If all Edges become idle, the curve is flat.
About Report Graphs
In bar-graph and line-graph reports, the x-axis (or tick mark) plots time, according to the interval you select. The y-axis plots the metric of interest, such as gigabytes of bandwidth, percent of data reduction, connection counts, and so on.
The right margin of the graph points to the value on the y-axis (for example, the percent) that is the average value for the time period selected.
