Configure the Metrics Panel

Use this procedure to configure the Metrics panel. Repeat this procedure any time that you want to add a metric. If you have multiple disciplines installed, the Metrics panel can display data across all disciplines.

Follow these steps:

  1. Log in to CA Chorus.
  2. Click the plus sign control (+) on the Metrics panel.

    The Select Metrics Domain view of the Add New Metrics panel opens.

  3. Click the down arrow in the Metric Source field, and select Storage.
  4. Click the Shows tree icon next to the Select Entity option.

    The Statistics category of the storage navigation tree opens. This category lists the storage objects available for the TSF.

  5. Click the pointer next to the Storage Groups category, drill down until you can select the entity of the critical storage group, and then select it.
  6. Click Next.

    The Select Metrics view of the Add New Metrics panel opens.

    The left pane shows the Available Metrics (fields of the Storage Groups object that metrics data is available for).

  7. Click % Allo to display the percentage of space that is allocated of the total space available in the Storage Group. You can also select more fields by holding down the Ctrl button and clicking them. For example, the Allo Bytes, Cap Bytes, and Free Bytes fields.
  8. Click the single arrow pointing to the Selected Metrics pane and click Finish.

    The selected items are listed in the Selected Metrics pane. The new items are added to the Metric panel. They appear as small graph icons in the row towards the top of the interface.
