Usage forecasting
You can forecast usage for a six month period. The forecast is based on the current usage data from a selected time period. To view forecast data in a graph, expand the storage pool row, and then select the time period that you want in the Forecast Average Over list. For example, if you select Last Month, the usage data for the last month is used to forecast usage for a six month period.
By default, this graph shows usage and when usage nears or meets the critical threshold. Click the Usage and Critical options to toggle to add or remove these metrics from the graph.
You can also view usage for each of the file systems that are associated with the storage pool by clicking File Systems for the graph. By default, the graph shows usage for all file systems. Click a file system label to add or remove the system from the graph.
