Performance metrics for Pure storage systems

Monitor the performance metrics that are collected for your Pure FlashArray//M and FlashArray//X storage systems.

A performance metric might apply to one or more storage resources. To check which resources the performance metric applies to, see the tips.

Volume metrics

Volume performance metrics are described in the Key volume metrics table.
Tip: You can view the volume metrics in Key volume metrics for the following resources:
  • Volumes
  • Storage systems

Metric Description
Overall I/O Rate (Read) The average number of read operations per second. This value includes both sequential and nonsequential read operations.
Overall I/O Rate (Write) The average number of write operations per second. This value includes both sequential and nonsequential write operations.
Overall I/O Rate (Total) The average number of read operations and write operations per second. This value includes both sequential and nonsequential operations.
Data Rate (Read) The average number of MiBs per second that are transferred for read operations.
Data Rate (Write) The average number of MiBs per second that are transferred for write operations.
Data Rate (Total) The average number of MiB per second that are transferred for read operations and write operations.
Response Time (Read) The average number of milliseconds to complete a read operation.
Response Time (Write) The average number of milliseconds to complete a write operation.
Response Time (Overall) The average number of milliseconds to complete an I/O operation. This value includes both read and write operations.
