# Main Dashboard

Object Storage administrators and Object Storage account administrators
have dedicated dashboard views that provides a “snapshot” of the current
status, activities and trends in their scope (global array and account level
respectively).

Refer to the relevant dashboard according to your Object Storage role:

- [Object Storage Administrator dashboard](#dashboard-zios-admin)
- [Account Administrator dashboard](#dashboard-account-admin)

## Object Storage administrator dashboard

Scope: Object Storage Administrator

The Object Storage dashboard allows administrators to get the current
health, stats and capacity information at a glance. The dashboard is visible
to the Object Storage administrator (`zios_admin` account) only.

<!-- comment TBD check the previous sentence.
parts of the dashboard appear to be available to account admin also -->

The dashboard has 5 sections:

1. **General information** - lists general Object Storage information such as:
   - **Name** - Object Storage display name as provided during its creation
     process
   - **Region** - the region attribute defined by the administrator (default:
     `us-east-1`), used primarily for AWSv4 signatures
   - **Load Balancer Type** - Internal (default) or ZELB (Zadara Elastic Load
     Balancer)
   - **Management IP** - the frontend network IP address assigned to the
     Object Storage and used as the access endpoint. The DNS name registered
     automatically will match this IP address.
   - **Internal name** - the cloud’s UUID
   - **Cloud name** - the Zadara zStorage cloud name
   - **Deployment type** - `Single Region` or `Multi-Zone`
   - **Management URL** - the DNS name for the Object Storage
   - **Version** - the Object Storage software version
   - **Public IP** - the public IP assigned to the Object Storage (optional)
   - **Creation date** - the Object Storage creation date
2. **Performance** - breakdown of the Object Storage’s current performance metrics:
   - **Total Throughput** - the total throughput being served currently by the Object
     Storage controllers
   - **Total OP/s** - object operations per second, aggregated value for all
     operations served by the object storage controllers
   - **OP/s** - breakdown of object operations per type, listing the “common”
     operations as PUT/GET/DELETE.
   - **Active Connections** - the current number of sessions connected to the
     Object Storage
3. **System health** - object storage system inventory and status:
   - **Virtual Controller** - VC storage, proxy and replicator headcounts
     for the Object Storage,
     followed by average storage CPU usage, average proxy CPU usage and
     average replicator CPU usage as percentages
   - **Drives** - data drive count
   - **Accounts** - active account count
   - **Containers** - containers (buckets) count across all system accounts
   - **Objects** - object count across all object storage accounts/containers
   - **Average Object Size** - the average object size within the account
   - **New pending requests** - account creation requests that are pending
     for administrator approval
4. **Capacity** – This chart shows the accumulated used capacity
   from the data storage policies over time. The bar shows the current
   used/free capacity along with a historical trend of the used capacity.
5. **Policies** – Lists all storage policies with their health
   index as calculated by the system.

## Account administrator dashboard

Scope: Account Administrator

Similar to the Object Storage administrator, the Object Storage dashboard
allows account administrators to get the overall status of the system at a glance.
The dashboard is visible to the Object Storage account administrators.

The dashboard has 5 sections:

1. **General information** - lists general Object Storage information such as:
   - **Account Name** - the Object Storage account name as provided
     during its creation process
   - **Version** - the Object Storage software version
   - **Deployment type** - `Single Region` or `Multi-Zone`
   - **Public management URL** - the public endpoint assigned to the
     Object Storage (optional)
   - **Name** - Object Storage display name as provided during the creation
     process
   - **Region** - the region attribute defined by the administrator (default:
     `us-east-1`), used primarily for AWSv4 signatures
   - **Management URL** - the DNS name for the Object Storage
   - **Internal name** - the cloud’s UUID
   - **Account creation date** - the object storage account creation date
2. **Performance** - breakdown of the Object Storage’s current performance metrics:
   - **Total Throughput** - the total throughput being served currently by the Object
     Storage controllers
   - **Total OP/s** - object operations per second, aggregated value for all
     operations served by the object storage controllers
   - **OP/s** - breakdown of object operations per type, listing the “common”
     operations as PUT/GET/DELETE.
3. **Account status** - account level snapshot:
   - **Total capacity** - total used capacity for the account
   - **Containers** - containers (bucket) count
   - **Objects** - object count across all containers within the account
   - **Average object size** - the average object size within the account
   - **Users** - account user count
   - **Quota status** - indication whether a capacity quota was enabled by
     the Object Storage administrator, and the current used capacity
4. **Capacity** - capacity usage trend
5. **Top containers** - list of the top containers (sorted by capacity)
