Understanding compression statistics

The Compression page in the HCP System Management Console displays statistics about the space saved by the Compression/Encryption service. It also lets you control various aspects of compression activity.

Roles: To view the Compression page, you need the monitor or administrator role. To change compression settings, you need the administrator role.

To display the Compression page, in the top-level menu of the System Management Console, select Services > Compression.

The Compression page shows:

Total bytes saved by compression — The current number of bytes of storage freed by compressed objects, object parts, and chunks for objects and object parts

Percent of storage saved — The amount of storage space currently saved by compression, expressed as a percentage of the total space available for storing objects

Number of objects and object parts compressed — The total number of these items currently compressed: objects, parts of multipart objects, chunks for erasure-coded objects, and chunks for erasure-coded parts of multipart objects

The page also shows the current compression settings.
