Storage access chart
Storage access, also known as IOPS, is the per-second measurement of read and write access operations on a storage entity.
Turbonomic collects storage access data from VMs, Database Servers, and storage entities discovered by cloud, on-prem, and storage targets. When you set the scope to these entities, the data that Turbonomic collected displays in the Storage Access chart.
The chart shows average and peak/low values over time. Use the selector on the chart to change the time frame.
An empty chart could be the result of delayed discovery, target validation failure, unavailable data for the given time frame, or an unsupported entity (see the next section for a list of supported entities).
Supported entities
Data is available in the Storage Access chart for entities discovered via the following targets:

Scale actions
Turbonomic considers storage access (IOPS) utilization when recommending scaling actions for cloud VMs, cloud Database Servers, and volumes.
