The dashboard is the first page that is displayed when you log in to PowerStore Manager. The page provides a status view of various system details, including system capacity, system health, storage health, and overall system performance. Different system details and information appear in the Overview, Capacity, and Performance tabs.

The Capacity tab, as shown in Figure 6, includes information about the overall capacity of the systems in the cluster. The tab also shows a historical graph of usage which helps determine a capacity forecast over time. It might take several days for the capacity forecast to be displayed with a new system. PowerStoreOS versions 4.0 and later display the Overall DRR, Reducible DRR, and Unreducible Data metrics on the system when hovering over the Data Savings graphic. The Capacity tab also includes information about data savings and top storage consumers that are related to configured storage resources.

The Performance tab includes an overall cluster performance chart which shows top-level performance metrics including latency, IOPS, I/O size, and bandwidth. Also included on the performance chart are graphed system alerts at the time they were identified, which is useful when troubleshooting performance anomalies. The performance chart itself can be exported in different formats including .jpeg, .pdf, .png, and .csv formats.
The following table shows the performance-metric retention periods and associated sampling intervals.
