Worksheet Overview
  • Top Column

    The first column in each sheet provides the timestamp of the statistics sample.

  • Top Row

    The top row in each sheet provides the names of the data series information for lookup when reviewing cell data.

Chart Overview
  • X-axis

    The X-axis (horizontal) provides the data and timestamp for each data point. The timestamps on the X-axis are derived from the fsstatsparser, which automatically converts GMT to the local time zone in which fsstatsparser was executed.

  • Y-axis

    The Y-axis (vertical) provides the data values (for example, megabytes per second or latency in milliseconds).

  • Data Markers

    Each chart has data markers that allow you to mouse over the chart to see data point values.

Additional Information
  • Y-axis details may show multiple values for the same number. This is due to the statistical value not being available as the object, as in the example where a LUN was deleted within the timeframe of the statistics collection period.
  • Some workbooks have an additional column at the right end and also an additional row at the bottom. The additional row and column provide the summary, minimum, and maximum values of the data set collected to aid in looking for I/O spikes within the data series.
  • In some instances, the fsstatsparser and fsstatsformatter tools cannot find all the components in the statistics bundle. When these instances are encountered, remove all the non-required files and directories where you executed fsstatsdigest and re-execute the command syntax.
