Storage graphs
The Primary Storage section on the Overview page contains a graph showing the amount of used primary storage (both running and spindown) during the past 30 days (or since HCP was installed if that was less than 30 days ago). The used storage value is the total amount of storage occupied by object data, system and custom metadata, the metadata query engine index, and any redundant data required to satisfy data protection level and metadata protection level settings in service plans.
If the HCP system has S Series storage available to it, the Overview page also has an S Series Storage section that contains a graph showing the amount of used S Series storage during the past 30 days (or since HCP was installed if that was less than 30 days ago). The used storage value is the total amount of storage occupied by object data, system metadata, and any redundant data required to satisfy data protection level settings in service plans.
Used storage includes storage occupied by the parts of in-progress multipart uploads that have already been written to the repository. Used storage does not include replaced parts of multipart uploads, parts uploaded for aborted multipart uploads, or unused parts of completed multipart uploads.
The x-axes in the Primary Storage and S Series Storage graphs mark the passage of time. The y-axes measure the used storage in megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, or petabytes, depending on the amount of used storage. As the amount of used storage increases, the intervals on the y-axis get larger. The graph heading indicates the current measurement unit (megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), terabytes (TB), or petabytes (PB)).
To see the amount of used storage at a given point in time, hover over the top edge of the colored portion of the graph at the time you want.
Above the Primary Storage graph heading, the Overview page shows the total amount of primary storage in the HCP system, excluding the space required for system overhead and the operating system. Above the S Series Storage graph heading, the Overview page shows the total amount of S Series storage available to the HCP system.
Below the Primary Storage section option, the Overview page shows the most recent value for the amount of used primary storage. Below the S Series Storage section option, the Overview page shows the most recent value for the amount of used S Series storage. The bottom left corner of the Overview page shows the date and time these values and the Primary Storage and S Series Storage graphs were last updated. To update these values and the graphs to show the most current information, click Refresh Now in the bottom right corner of the Overview page.
When merging data from identical objects, the Duplicate Elimination service flags the redundant data for deletion. Similarly, when compressing an object, the Compression/Encryption service flags the uncompressed version for deletion. The Primary Storage and S Series Storage graphs do not reflect space reclaimed by either service until the flagged data is actually deleted.
