View and Investigate Storage Metrics

You can send various metrics about storage usage from the storage engine to CA Chorus for Storage Management for display in TSF (trend) graphs. That is, you can see how one or more storage metrics vary over a selected time period – the historical usage trend for each metric.

Storage metrics are available for certain fields in the following Storage objects, including:

• Volumes (DASD) – Space and Other Attributes
• Storage Groups – Space and Other Attributes
• Catalog Object – On Volume (Lspace Information)
• Catalog Object – CAS Catalog I/O Statistics
• Catalog Object – CAS Catalog Cache Report
• Data Set Management Object – Application Space Usage on Primary Storage

To add TSF Metrics to your workspace, select “Click here to configure the Metrics panel” at the top of the interface window and follow the prompts.

Note: For an example of how to configure the Metrics panel, set Metrics thresholds, and create your own Metrics dashboard, see How to Configure the Metrics Panel to Monitor Storage Group Space Usage.

You can also view storage resource Statistics (TSF object data) in table format or side-by-side charts in the Investigator.
