SyncIQ allows administrators to monitor the status of policies and replication jobs with real-time performance indicators and resource utilization. Administrators can determine how different policy settings affect job execution and affect performance on the cluster. In addition, every job execution produces a comprehensive report that can be reviewed for troubleshooting and performance analysis. The real-time reports provide information about the amount of data replicated and the effectiveness of those jobs, enabling resources to be tuned accordingly. For more information about SyncIQ tuning, see SyncIQ performance rules.
In addition to including cluster-wide performance monitoring tools, such as the isi statistics command or the PowerScale InsightIQ software module, SyncIQ includes module-specific performance monitoring tools. For information about isi statistics and InsightIQ, see the PowerScale OneFS 8.2.1 CLI Administration Guide and the PowerScale InsightIQ 4.1 User Guide.
