Performance statistics

What performance-related data does Arctera InfoScale Operations Manager track?

Arctera InfoScale Operations Manager tracks the following data that is displayed in the performance charts:

  • Hosts - available memory, average CPU load, CPU utilization, Swap in Rate, and Used Swap

  • Disks and volumes - read and write statistics

  • File system - the size and the used space on the file system

  • Initiator - the bytes read and written as well as read and write errors and queues lengths

  • Path - read and write latency and average bytes read and written

  • Virtualization server and virtual machine - available memory, CPU utilization, swap in rate, average CPU load, and used swap

  • Path of a virtualization server - average read and write latency, and bytes read and written

Where are performance statistics stored?

The performance statistics data is not stored in the Management Server database, but on the managed host. If Management Server is not running, Arctera InfoScale Operations Manager continues to collect historic performance statistics on each managed host only if the managed host is configured with Management Server.

Data logs for host, volume, disk, file system, path, and initiator are stored on the managed host. The data logs for virtualization server, virtual machine, path, and initiator are stored on the Control Host.

The default directory on UNIX or Linux managed host is

/var/opt/VRTSsfmh/stats

For Windows 2019

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Symantec\VRTSsfmh\stats

For Windows 2022

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Symantec\VRTSsfmh\stats

In case of storage array and VMware metering, Arctera InfoScale Operations Manager also stores the data in the shared folder.

Are performance graphs supported on Windows managed hosts?

Yes, Arctera InfoScale Operations Manager version 6.0 or later supports performance statistics collection for Windows managed hosts. The following performance statistics are collected for Windows managed hosts:

  • Host

  • Disk

  • Volume

  • Windows native file system

    Only read and write statistics are collected for file system.
