IBM Storage Insights Tenant overview dashboard

Learn about the dashboard features that you can use to monitor and optimize your storage environment.

The IBM Storage Insights Tenant overview dashboard is divided into following sections:

Tenant level summary

It provides the data across all block storage systems within a tenant, such as block storage health, capacity information, alerts including security alerts (if any), and other details. This holistic view of resource utilization aids in capacity planning and optimization. It provides the consolidated information of all the block storage systems that is added to the tenant.

Table 1. Tenant Level Summary Information
Menu item	Sub menu item	Description
Block storage	-	It displays the number of block storage devices.
Block Storage Health	-	Block Storage Health details the health condition of all the devices of the tenant in a pie chart.
Total Systems Capacity	Available Capacity	The amount of unused capacity in the storage system that is reserved for provisioning and optimization tasks.
	Used Capacity	The percentage of physical capacity that is used, including overhead capacity. The value is always less than or equal to 100% because you cannot use more physical capacity than what is available.
	Total Capacity	The total capacity in the storage system.
Host Capacity Mapping	Mapped Capacity	The total volume space in the storage system that is mapped or assigned to storage systems.
Host Capacity Mapping	Unmapped Capacity	The total volume space in the storage system that is not mapped or assigned to storage systems.
Alerts	-	The alert tiles displays the count of Critical, Warning, and Informational alerts for all block storage devices over the last 24 hours, along with their acknowledged status.
Ransomware Alerts	-	Ransomware alerts indicate the total number of potential ransomware attacks across various IBM Storage Virtualize and IBM Storage FlashSystem products on the tenant.
Total Capacity Savings	Data Provisioned	Total capacity of all volumes that are created on the system, which includes volumes that are not mapped to hosts.
	Data Reduction	It is used to reduce the amount of usable capacity that is required to store data.
	Total Savings	The total amount of usable capacity that is saved in a pool, system, or volume through thin-provisioning and data reduction techniques. This saved capacity is the difference between the used capacity and the total provisioned.

Table 2. Block storage systems details
Menu item	Description
name	Name of the block storage system.
system_id	The storage system ID.
condition	The overall operational condition of a storage system. This condition represents the most critical status that was detected on the resource itself and on its internal resources.
model	The model number.
serial_number	The serial number of the block storage system.
type	The type of block storage system.
used_capacity	The percentage of physical capacity that is used, including overhead capacity. The value is always less than or equal to 100% because you cannot use more physical capacity than what is available.
available_capacity	The amount of unused capacity in the storage system that is reserved for provisioning and optimization tasks.
mapped_capacity	The total volume space in the storage system that is mapped or assigned to storage systems.
unmapped_capacity	The total volume space in the storage system that is not mapped or assigned to storage systems.
data_reduction_savings	It is used to reduce the amount of usable capacity that is required to store data.
provisioned_capacity	Total capacity of all volumes that are created on the system, which includes volumes that are not mapped to hosts.
capacity_savings	The total amount of usable capacity that is saved in a pool, system, or volume through thin-provisioning and data reduction techniques. This saved capacity is the difference between the used capacity and the total provisioned.

Table 3. Internal resources
Menu	Description
name	The name of the internal resource.
system_id	The storage system ID.
volumes_count	It displays the number of volumes that are connected with the internal resource.
pool_count	It displays the number of pools that are connected with the internal resource.
Mdisks_count	It displays the number of Mdisks that are connected with the internal resource.
drives_count	It displays the number of drives that are connected with the internal resource.
fc_port_count	It displays the number of FC ports that are connected with the internal resource.
ip_ports_count	It displays the number of IP ports that are connected with the internal resource.

Table 4. Critical alerts
Menu	Description
alert_id	A unique number that is assigned to an alert.
resources	The storage resources where an alert condition was detected. Depending on where the alert was detected, the following information is shown: The name of the top-level resource that triggered the alert. The name of the internal resource that triggered an alert, if only one internal resource triggered it. The number and type of internal resource that triggered an alert, if multiple internal resources of the same type triggered it. For example, "45 Volumes". "Multiple" is shown if more than one type of internal resource triggered the alert.
alert_name	The name of the alert as defined by its creator.
condition	The condition on a resource that triggered an alert.
violation	If the alert was triggered by only one violation, this column shows the value of the attribute that was detected by the data collection. This value is compared against the triggering condition for the attribute to determine whether an alert is generated. If the alert was triggered by more than one violation, the value in this column is "Multiple".
severity	It determines the priority in which you resolve alerts. For example, critical alerts represent serious problems that were detected on a resource. The severity status includes critical, critical-acknowledged, warning, warning-acknowledged, informational, informational-acknowledged.
resource_type	It is storage resource types on which the alert got triggered.
category	Alerts are organized into the following categories: Fabric Switch Other Performance Host Storage System Job Application Group General Group Custom Capacity The IBM Storage Insights Pro alert category relates to the server on which the product is installed.
occurence_time_utc	The date and time when the alert condition was detected on the storage resource. Alerts are detected when data is collected about a storage resource. The timestamp value is `UTC`.
system	The name of the storage resource where an alert condition was detected. Click the link to view more details about the resource.
alert_source	The alert policy, resource, application, or general group that contains the alert definition that triggered the alert.
occurences	The number of times the alert condition was detected on the storage resource.
