Performance metrics
Collect and use metrics to measure the performance of storage systems that are monitored by IBM Storage Insights Pro. Metrics are also collected to measure the performance of switches that are monitored.
You must deploy one or more data collectors to collect performance metadata. The metadata is collected, analyzed, and mined to gain valuable insights into the performance of your storage systems and their internal resources, such as pools and volumes. You also gain insights into switch performance through the collection of performance metadata for physical switches, switch ports, and Trunks.
With the metadata that is collected, historical and current performance charts are generated. You can use the charts to compare the performance of your storage resources over time, identify and troubleshoot performance anomalies, and compare the key performance indicators from your storage systems that run IBM Storage Virtualize with best practice guidelines.
Similarly, you can use historical and current performance charts to compare the performance of your switches over time, identify and troubleshoot performance anomalies, and compare key performance indicators from switches and ports.
