Predefined web dashboards

BVQ Web Dashboards are based on our BVQ Datasource Plugin for Grafana. We streamlined the experience from many of our SVA NetApp ONTAP Experts to predefine three essential dashboards to provide an overview across performanceconfiguration, capacity , CPU core & memory utilization and environmental statusand performance:

All objects, attributes and statistics of this platform can be interactively browsed within the BVQ Expert GUI. We assembled 6 3 predefined and commented BVQ Multi view favourites favorites to give you a first overview about your overall, network and storage configuration, your performance load or to guide you through analytic tasks to identify issues around redundant VIOSs or configurationperformance and capacity. We will add more as soon, as we identify additional general use cases.

...

Similar to all other objects, they show up in the Path browser inside the property panel of the BVQ Expert GUI or can be opened as a Table view from the Favourite BVQ Favorite browser. All NetApp ONTAP objects can be combined in an end to end relation to objects of other platforms.

Typical questions around performance, load and utilization are answered by BVQ:

  • Is the LPAR performance is negatively influenced by the SAN?
  • Is the LPAR performance is negatively affected by the storage?
  • Which LPAR Which Volumes or Aggregates are overloaded and show high latencies?
  • Is there a congestion at an attached SAN port?
  • Which Volume or SVM puts a heavy load on a storage volumemy cluster?
  • Does an latency peak have influence on the performance of an LPARAggregate?
  • Does LPAR load generate latency peaks in storage
  • Is the LPAR or FC host performance affected by slow drainers in the SAN?Which LPAR is used for a SAN port
  • What Volume causes peak overloads in my Aggregate?

To view performance statistics for one or multiple objects, simply select the object(s), right-click and select the performance object type objects and open the performance view. There you can choose the metrics you are interested in .
