About storage reports

Storage reports contain statistics about the use of S Series storage, extended storage, and service plans over time. These reports are a good source of information for storage analysis, enabling you to monitor storage usage patterns at either the component, pool, or service plan level.

Each storage report covers one of these:

A single storage component, single storage pool, or single service plan

All storage components, all storage pools, or all service plans

All storage components, storage pools, and service plans

Storage reports do not include statistics for components and pools representing primary storage.

You generate storage reports from the HCP System Management Console. For each report, you specify the start and end dates of the report period, which is the time period covered by the report. You also specify the reporting interval, which determines whether HCP generates hourly, daily, or total values for the report period.

Storage reports contain aggregated namespace statistics for each tenant that's defined on the HCP system, including the default tenant. For example, for a given tenant and a given storage component, the number of read operations shown for a specific reporting interval is the total number of read operations that:

Targeted storage represented by the component

Occurred during the reporting interval

Targeted objects in the tenant's namespaces

Storage reports also contain aggregated tenant statistics for the HCP system as a whole. Additionally, for an HCP tenant that has granted system-level administrative access to itself, storage reports contain statistics for the individual namespaces owned by that tenant.

HCP generates storage reports in CSV format. Each line in a report contains the values for one namespace, for one tenant, or for the entire HCP system during a specific reporting interval (that is, during a specific hour, during a specific day, or during the entire report period).
