4.16 Monitoring Statistics

RAIDWatch Manager includes a statistics monitoring feature to report on the overall performance of the disk array system. This feature provides a continually updated real-time report on the current throughput of the system, displaying the number of bytes being read and written per second, and the percentage of data access being handled by cache memory. These values are displayed in a graphical format.

To monitor current data traffic on the disk array

Click on the Statistics command button or select the Statistics command from the Open menu. Then choose either Cache Hits or Disk R/W (disk read/write).

The Cache Hits Statistics window displays what percentage of data is being accessed via cache memory. Read values appear in blue and Write values in red.

The Read/Write Statistics window displays the amount of data being read from and written to the disk array system, in MB per second. Read values appear in blue and Write values in red.
