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

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.

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.

      Note

      For a more detailed breakdown use the Performance section in the management section

    • 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 and proxy headcounts for the Object Storage, followed by average storage CPU usage and average proxy 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.

Note

The object count/capacity information undergoes periodic refreshment to reflect the latest statistics stored in the system. However, since the updates occur once an hour, the information may not always present real-time values.

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)

Note

The object count/capacity information undergoes periodic refreshment to reflect the latest statistics stored in the system. However, since the updates occur once an hour, the information may not always present real-time values.
