Monitoring resources

You use the Resources page in the HCP System Management Console to monitor the use of system resources. The information on this page can help you determine the causes of system issues such as slowed responses to client read and write requests or abnormal conditions reported in the system log.

The Resources page uses graphs to show statistics about the use of these resources over time:

  • CPU
  • Local logical volumes
  • Memory
  • Front-end, back-end, and, if it is enabled, management networks

The graphs let you analyze trends across individual storage nodes and compare node performance to the performance of the system as a whole. The graphs are coordinated with each other, allowing you to easily view the use of multiple resources during the same time period. Additionally, the Resources page can display the HCP system log, so you can correlate resource usage with system events.
