The Overview tab includes the following details:

Table 1. Overview tab details

Element	Description
Storage	The Storage section provides a summary of how this application is utilizing storage resources. It represents overall capacity and usage of the PVCs in a line chart. The capacity usage of storage classes is represented as a pie chart. For example, 1200 GiB is the overall capacity and 300 GiB is the used capacity.
Events	The Events section includes critical and recent events that occurred on the application. Click View all to see all the events that are associated to this application.
Backups	The Backups section provides a summary of backup jobs. The percentage of successful backups, timestamp of the recent successful backup, and total number of available backups and backup policies. The storage capacity usage from a policy perspective is represented as a pie chart. For example, there are 3 policies and 600 GiB overall capacity. The "check_app" policy usage is 400 GiB, the "object_policy" usage is 150 GiB, and the "client26" sewage is 50 GiB.
Inventory	The Inventory section displays a clickable list of storage and resources. The number within parenthesis for Storage and Resources headings indicate the total number of available storage and resources respectively.
Disaster recovery This section is available only in a Metro-DR setup.	The Disaster recovery section displays the disaster recovery to which applications are enrolled. It shows Regional status, Metro status, Current site, Home site, and Last consistent time.

The Storage tab includes the following details:

Table 2. Storage tab details

Element	Description
Capacity usage by PVCs	Capacity usage by PVCs section displays the current application capacity usage by PVCs.
Capacity by storage class	Capacity by storage class section represents in a pie chart the total capacity of the storage class and the amount of used storage in GiB.
Storage classes	Storage classes section individually lists all the storage classes along with the total number of PVCs, total capacity of the PVC, and the total used capacity in GiB. The number that is specified within parentheses is the total number of storage classes. Note: A Persistent Volume (PV) storage is dynamically provisioned by using the storage classes. For more information about how to create storage classes, see Dynamic provisioning of Persistent Volume in filesystem.
Persistent Volume Claims	The Persistent Volume Claims section lists PVCs distributed across the associated storage classes along with their used and total capacities. Note: The PVC is a storage request and it uses the PV resources. It also does claim checks to these resources. The following details of the PVCs are available in the list: The Name of the storage class. The PVC status of the storage class. The values are Bound and Unbound. The Used and Capacity indicates the used storage and the total capacity in GiB. The Storage class and PV indicates the associated storage class and PV. Use the Search text box to filter the records in the list. You can filter based on PVC status and storage class parameters. You can further refine your search based on the different values of these parameters. For example, you can filter PVC status based on Bound, unbound, or All. You can also use the settings icon to choose the columns to display. Click Reset to default if you want the original system settings.
