Chapter 2. Metrics 2.1. Metrics in the Block and File dashboard You can navigate to the Block and File dashboard in the OpenShift Web Console as follows: Click Storage OpenShift Data Foundation . In the Status card of the Overview tab, click Storage System and then click the storage system link from the pop up that appears. Click the Block and File tab. The following cards on the Block and File dashboard provides the metrics based on deployment mode (internal or external): Details card The Details card shows the following: Service Name Cluster name The name of the Provider on which the system runs (example: AWS , VSphere , None for Bare metal) Mode (deployment mode as either Internal or External) OpenShift Data Foundation operator version. Inventory card The Inventory card shows the number of active nodes, PVCs and PVs backed by OpenShift Data Foundation provisioner. On the left hand side of the card, total number of storage nodes, PVCs and PVs are displayed. While on the corresponding right hand side of the card, number of storage nodes in Not Ready state, count of PVCs in Pending state and PVs in Released state are shown. Note For external mode, the number of nodes will be 0 by default, since there are no dedicated nodes for OpenShift Data Foundation. Status card This card shows whether the cluster is up and running without any errors or is experiencing some issues. For internal mode, Data Resiliency indicates the status of data re-balancing in Ceph across the replicas. When the internal mode cluster is in a warning or error state, the Alerts section is shown along with the relevant alerts. For external mode, Data Resiliency and alerts will not be displayed Raw Capacity card This card shows the total raw storage capacity which includes replication, on the cluster. Used legend indicates space used raw storage capacity on the cluster Available legend indicates the available raw storage capacity on the cluster. Note This card is not applicable for external mode clusters. Used Capacity Breakdown card This card shows the actual amount of non-replicated data stored in the cluster and its distribution. You can choose between Projects, Storage Classes and Pods from the drop-down menu on the top of the card. These options are for filtering the data shown in the graph. The graph displays the used capacity for only the top five entities, based on usage. The aggregate usage of the remaining entities is displayed as Other. Option Display Projects The aggregated capacity of each project which is using the OpenShift Data Foundation and how much is being used. Storage Classes The aggregate capacity based on OpenShift Data Foundation based storage classes. Pods All the pods trying to use the PVC backed by OpenShift Data Foundation provisioner. For external mode, see the Capacity breakdown card . Capacity breakdown card This card is only applicable for external mode clusters. In this card, you can view graphic breakdown of capacity per project, storage classes and pods. You can choose between Projects, Storage Classes and Pods from the drop-down menu on the top of the card. These options are for filtering the data shown in the graph. The graph displays the used capacity for only the top five entities, based on usage. The aggregate usage of the remaining entities is displayed as Other. Utilization card The card shows used capacity, input/output operations per second, latency, throughput, and recovery information for the internal mode cluster. For external mode, this card shows only the used and requested capacity details for that cluster. Storage Efficiency card This card shows the compression ratio that represents a compressible data effectiveness metric inclusive of all compression-enabled pools. It also shows the savings metric that represents the actual disk capacity saved inclusive of all compression-enabled pools and associated replicas. Activity card This card shows what activities are happening or have recently happened in the OpenShift Data Foundation cluster. The card is separated into two sections: Ongoing : Displays the progress of ongoing activities related to rebuilding of data resiliency and upgrading of OpenShift Data Foundation operator. Recent Events : Displays the list of events that happened in the openshift-storage namespace. 2.2. Metrics in the Object dashboard You can navigate to the Object dashboard in the OpenShift Web Console as follows: Click Storage OpenShift Data Foundation . In the Status card of the Overview tab, click Storage System and then click the storage system link from the pop up that appears. Click the Object tab. The following metrics are available in the Object dashboard: Details card This card shows the following information: Service Name : The Multicloud Object Gateway (MCG) service name. System Name : The Multicloud Object Gateway and RADOS Object Gateway system names. The Multicloud Object Gateway system name is also a hyperlink to the MCG management user interface. Provider : The name of the provider on which the system runs (example: AWS , VSphere , None for Baremetal) Version : OpenShift Data Foundation operator version. Storage Efficiency card In this card you can view how the MCG optimizes the consumption of the storage backend resources through deduplication and compression and provides you with a calculated efficiency ratio (application data vs logical data) and an estimated savings figure (how many bytes the MCG did not send to the storage provider) based on capacity of bare metal and cloud based storage and egress of cloud based storage. Buckets card Buckets are containers maintained by the MCG and RADOS Object Gateway to store data on behalf of the applications. These buckets are created and accessed through object bucket claims (OBCs). A specific policy can be applied to bucket to customize data placement, data spill-over, data resiliency, capacity quotas, and so on. In this card, information about object buckets (OB) and object bucket claims (OBCs) is shown separately. OB includes all the buckets that are created using S3 or the user interface(UI) and OBC includes all the buckets created using YAMLs or the command line interface (CLI). The number displayed on the left of the bucket type is the total count of OBs or OBCs. The number displayed on the right shows the error count and is visible only when the error count is greater than zero. You can click on the number to see the list of buckets that has the warning or error status. Resource Providers card This card displays a list of all Multicloud Object Gateway and RADOS Object Gateway resources that are currently in use. Those resources are used to store data according to the buckets policies and can be a cloud-based resource or a bare metal resource. Status card This card shows whether the system and its services are running without any issues. When the system is in a warning or error state, the alerts section is shown and the relevant alerts are displayed there. Click the alert links beside each alert for more information about the issue. For information about health checks, see Cluster health . If multiple object storage services are available in the cluster, click the service type (such as Object Service or Data Resiliency ) to see the state of the individual services. Data resiliency in the status card indicates if there is any resiliency issue regarding the data stored through the Multicloud Object Gateway and RADOS Object Gateway. Capacity breakdown card In this card you can visualize how applications consume the object storage through the Multicloud Object Gateway and RADOS Object Gateway. You can use the Service Type drop-down to view the capacity breakdown for the Multicloud Gateway and Object Gateway separately. When viewing the Multicloud Object Gateway, you can use the Break By drop-down to filter the results in the graph by either Projects or Bucket Class . Performance card In this card, you can view the performance of the Multicloud Object Gateway or RADOS Object Gateway. Use the Service Type drop-down to choose which you would like to view. For Multicloud Object Gateway accounts, you can view the I/O operations and logical used capacity. For providers, you can view I/O operation, physical and logical usage, and egress. The following tables explain the different metrics that you can view based on your selection from the drop-down menus on the top of the card: Table 2.1. Indicators for Multicloud Object Gateway Consumer types Metrics Chart display Accounts I/O operations Displays read and write I/O operations for the top five consumers. The total reads and writes of all the consumers is displayed at the bottom. This information helps you monitor the throughput demand (IOPS) per application or account. Accounts Logical Used Capacity Displays total logical usage of each account for the top five consumers. This helps you monitor the throughput demand per application or account. Providers I/O operations Displays the count of I/O operations generated by the MCG when accessing the storage backend hosted by the provider. This helps you understand the traffic in the cloud so that you can improve resource allocation according to the I/O pattern, thereby optimizing the cost. Providers Physical vs Logical usage Displays the data consumption in the system by comparing the physical usage with the logical usage per provider. This helps you control the storage resources and devise a placement strategy in line with your usage characteristics and your performance requirements while potentially optimizing your costs. Providers Egress The amount of data the MCG retrieves from each provider (read bandwidth originated with the applications). This helps you understand the traffic in the cloud to improve resource allocation according to the egress pattern, thereby optimizing the cost. For the RADOS Object Gateway, you can use the Metric drop-down to view the Latency or Bandwidth . Latency : Provides a visual indication of the average GET/PUT latency imbalance across RADOS Object Gateway instances. Bandwidth : Provides a visual indication of the sum of GET/PUT bandwidth across RADOS Object Gateway instances. Activity card This card displays what activities are happening or have recently happened in the OpenShift Data Foundation cluster. The card is separated into two sections: Ongoing : Displays the progress of ongoing activities related to rebuilding of data resiliency and upgrading of OpenShift Data Foundation operator. Recent Events : Displays the list of events that happened in the openshift-storage namespace. 2.3. Pool metrics The Pool metrics dashboard provides information to ensure efficient data consumption, and how to enable or disable compression if less effective. Viewing pool metrics To view the pool list: Click Storage OpenShift Data Foundation . In the Storage systems tab, select the storage system and then click BlockPools . When you click on a pool name, the following cards on each Pool dashboard is displayed along with the metrics based on deployment mode (internal or external): Details card The Details card shows the following: Pool Name Volume type Replicas Status card This card shows whether the pool is up and running without any errors or is experiencing some issues. Mirroring card When the mirroring option is enabled, this card shows the mirroring status, image health, and last checked time-stamp. The mirroring metrics are displayed when cluster level mirroring is enabled. The metrics help to prevent disaster recovery failures and notify of any discrepancies so that the data is kept intact. The mirroring card shows high-level information such as: Mirroring state as either enabled or disabled for the particular pool. Status of all images under the pool as replicating successfully or not. Percentage of images that are replicating and not replicating. Inventory card The Inventory card shows the number of storage classes and Persistent Volume Claims. Compression card This card shows the compression status as enabled or disabled as the case may be. It also displays the storage efficiency details as follows: Compression eligibility that indicates what portion of written compression-eligible data is compressible (per ceph parameters) Compression ratio of compression-eligible data Compression savings provides the total savings (including replicas) of compression-eligible data For information on how to enable or disable compression for an existing pool, see Updating an existing pool . Raw Capacity card This card shows the total raw storage capacity which includes replication, on the cluster. Used legend indicates storage capacity used by the pool Available legend indicates the available raw storage capacity on the cluster Performance card In this card, you can view the usage of I/O operations and throughput demand per application or account. The graph indicates the average latency or bandwidth across the instances.
