Monitoring storage pools and components

You can use the Storage section in the System Management Console to monitor the current health, availability, capacity, and usage of the storage that’s associated with any given storage pool, component, volume, or service plan. You can also use the Storage section to view current and historical usage statistics for the storage associated with any storage pool, component, volume, or service plan.

You can use the Storage page in the System Management Console to monitor the health, availability, and usage of the storage that’s associated with any given storage component, storage pool, or service plan in any of the following ways:

Use the StorageOverview page to view current storage capacity and storage usage statistics for each component, pool, and service plan that’s defined on the HCP system.

Use the StorageComponents, StoragePools, and StorageService Plans pages to display information about the current health status, availability, compliance status, and storage capacity usage of each storage component, storage pool, and service plan that’s defined on the HCP system.

Use the StorageComponents page to view current and historical storage usage statistics for a specific storage component. To do this:

1.On the StorageComponents page, click on the table row that corresponds to the storage component for which you want to view storage usage statistics.

2.If necessary, at the top of the panel that opens, click on the appropriate tab to display the Overview page.

The Overview page displays one or more graphs that show current and historical usage statistics for the selected component.

Use the StorageComponents page to view current storage usage for each access point (mount point, bucket, container, or namespace) that’s associated with a specific storage component. To do this:

1.On the StorageComponents page, click on the table row that corresponds to the storage component associated with the access points for which you want to view the current storage usage.

2.At the top of the page that opens, click on the tab that corresponds to the type of access point that’s used for the component you’re viewing (Mount Points, Buckets, Containers, or Namespaces).

The panel that opens displays a list of all of the access points associated with the selected component and specifies the amount of used storage capacity that’s associated with each access point.

Use the StorageService Plans page to identify and change the ingest tier of the HCP System.

Use the StorageReports page to generate reports that show current and historical storage usage information for any specific storage pool, component, or service plan, or to generate reports that show statistics for all storage components, storage pools and service plans defined on the HCP system.

On the StorageReports page, to generate a report:

1.Use the fields in the Report For section to specify the storage for which you want to generate a storage usage report. You can specify any of these:

An individual storage component, storage pool, or service plan

All storage components

All storage pools

All service plans

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

2.Use the Reporting Interval field to select the reporting interval to use for the report, and use the Start Date and End Date fields to select the time period that’s covered by the report. For detailed information and instructions on using these fields, see Generating chargeback reports.

3.Click on the Download Report button.

4.When prompted, save the report in the location of your choice.
