Statistics Tools Descriptions

The Oracle FS System provides two application tools to prepare and format statistical data used for storage management analysis. A third tool converts statistics downloaded from an Oracle FS System into a set of multi-tabbed Excel spreadsheets.

You can download these tools from the Oracle FS System and use them 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.

Table 1 Statistics tools descriptions
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 fsstatsformatter.

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 fsstatsparser. fsstatsformatter exports statistical data to comma-separated value (CSV) files that can be imported into spreadsheets and other applications for analysis.

Statistics Digest fsstatsdigest

A command line utility that converts statistics downloaded from an Oracle FS System into a set of multi-tabbed Excel spreadsheets. Each spreadsheet charts the metrics from the system (for example, SAN LUN I/O and Drive Group I/O).

Run the Oracle FS System fsstatsparser tool to parse the binary statistics bundle into an intermediate statistics file whenever you download a new statistics bundle from the Oracle FS System . After you parse the data, you run the Oracle FS System fsstatsformatter tool 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.
