The ReadyDATA provides status graphics for volume throughput, network throughput, volume utilization, and system temperatures.
To display and configure the system status graphics:
Click System > Overview.
The Dashboard home screen displays. The following status monitoring graphics are located below the Hardware section (if a graphic does not display, click the associated heading on the left of the screen):
Volume.
The Volume throughput graphic shows either the number of read and write operations per second or the bandwidth consumed per second:
- Operations. The range is flexible and depends on your selections from the drop-down lists above the graphic. For example, the range can be from 0 to 200 operations. The upper part of the graphic indicates the number of read operations (indicated by positive numbers); the lower part of the graphic indicates the number of write operations (indicated by negative numbers).
- Bandwidth. The range is flexible and depends on your selections from the drop-down lists above the graphic. For example, the range can be from 0 to 4 Mbps. The upper part of the graphic indicates the bandwidth consumed for read operations (indicated by positive numbers); the lower part of the graphic indicates the bandwidth consumed for write operations (indicated by negative numbers).
From the drop-down lists above the graphic, you can adjust the following settings:
- Volume. Select all volumes or individual volumes.
- Operations. Select the number of operations per second or the bandwidth consumed per second.
- Period. Select the period over which the operations or bandwidth is measured. You can select from five minutes to one year.
- Update. Select how often the information in the graphic is updated. You can select from 5 to 50.
Network.
The Network throughput table shows the network usage for Tx and Rx traffic in bytes per second. The range is flexible and depends on your selections from the drop-down lists above the graphic. For example, the range can be 0 to 60 bytes or from 0 to 40 KB. The upper part of the graphic indicates the Rx traffic; the lower part of the graphic indicates the Tx traffic.
From the drop-down lists above the graphic, you can adjust the following settings:
- Network. Select all network interfaces, individual interfaces, individual VNICs, or individual aggregation links.
- Protocol. Select all protocols or individual protocols (SMB, NFS, AFP, HTTP, SSH, iSCSI, or SNMP).
- Period. Select the period over which the network usage is measured. You can select from five minutes to one year.
- Update. Select how often the information in the table is updated. You can select from 5 to 50 seconds. seconds.
Utilization.
The Volume utilization graphic shows the percentage that an individual volume or all volumes are used. The range is from 0 to 100 percent.
From the drop-down lists above the graphic, you can adjust the following settings:
- Volume. Select all volumes or individual volumes.
- Period. Select the period over which the utilization is measured. You can select from five minutes to one year.
- Update. Select how often the information in the table is updated. You can select from 5 to 50 seconds.
Temperature.
The Temperature graphic shows the system temperatures in degrees Celsius. The range is flexible and depends on your selections from the drop-down lists above the graphic and the temperatures that are measured. For example, the range can be from 0 to 50 degrees Celsius.
From the drop-down lists above the graphic, you can adjust the following settings:
- Temperature. Select all temperatures, the system (SYS) temperature, the CPU temperature, or the auxiliary (AUX) temperature.
- Period. Select the period over which the temperatures are measured. You can select from five minutes to one year.
- Update. Select how often the information in the table is updated. You can select from 5 to 50 seconds.
