You must analyze the key performance metrics relevant to the problem and the workload being analyzed.

The components and key performance metrics available in Ops Center Analyzer for monitoring performance are listed in the following tables:

1The performance metric is available in Analyzer detail view.

2If the pool is being expanded by adding drives to a DDP parity group, the total capacity of the pool will be displayed as the total capacity after the expansion, not the effective capacity.However, the free capacity and usage rate of the pool will be displayed based on the effective capacity.
