The Oracle FS System provides two application tools, Statistics Parser and Statistics Formatter, to prepare and format statistical data used for storage management analysis.
The statistics tools are downloaded from the Oracle FS System and you use these tools on your client workstation to perform tasks. The following table provides the tool name, the executable name, and a brief description of the tasks you can complete with the tool.
| Tool | Executable name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Statistics Parser | fsstatsparser | A command line utility that runs on the client machine and translates the raw Oracle FS System statistics into an intermediate format. The intermediate format data is stored in a file on the client machine to provide quick access to the data in the subsequent analysis phase. The intermediate format cannot be read by applications, such as a spreadsheet, until the data is formatted with the Statistics Formatter. |
| Statistics Formatter | fsstatsformatter | A command line utility that runs on the client machine and reads Oracle FS System statistics from the intermediate format created by the Statistics Parser. The Statistics Formatter exports statistical data to comma-separated value (CSV) files that can be imported into spreadsheets and other applications for analysis. |
You run the Oracle FS System Statistics Parser tool whenever you download a new statistics bundle from the Oracle FS System to parse the binary statistics bundle into an intermediate statistics file. After you parse the data, you run Oracle FS System Statistics Formatter to generate one or more subsets of the data which can be read by applications like a spreadsheet. To help you with your analysis, the statistical data can be sorted by Oracle FS System component, time range, and other categories. Information is provided in this document on how to organize and sort the statistical data.
