The Oracle FS System collects statistics data on many system operations. Each component of the Oracle FS System periodically collects key statistics covering such areas as read and write performance, block-level read and write performance, and error counts. These system operation statistics can be downloaded from the Oracle FS System Manager (GUI) for analysis. The Statistics Tools utilities make it possible to process these statistics, which are in binary format, for analysis in statistical applications and spreadsheets.
The system operation statistics are historical compared to real-time statistics. These system operations were collected over intervals for a period of time, up to the point when the statistics were generated and downloaded. The same time and duration are included in the statistics file for each system component.
When analyzing statistics, the real-time statistics on the GUI, provide an instance of performance data whereas the system operation statistics represent a longer period of time and include a system wide collection of statistics. These statistics can help determine whether the system is being fully utilized and help determine sizing for future system expansion
Statistical data captured in a binary format on the Oracle FS System is downloaded from the Systems Logs page from the GUI for processing on a client machine.
The Statistics Tools provided with the
Oracle FS System make it possible to process this data into a format usable by statistical applications or spreadsheets. In that format, the statistical data can be used to:
- Analyze the Oracle FS System to determine bottlenecks and determine what needs to be tuned in order to optimize performance.
- Track Oracle FS System load and capacity.
- Produce reports and graphs for presentation.
- Integrate with existing performance monitoring and reporting applications.
Note: Additional information on other statistics, including real-time statistics, is provided in the Oracle Flash Storage System Administrator’s Guide.
