Quota dashboard

This page compares storage usage compared to storage quotas.


Page section	Use case
Section 1: top directories and users for accounting quotas At the top of the page, sort section 1: accounting quotas by: capacity growth rate, file count growth rate, max app logical, max file count, max file system (FS) logical, or max physical.	Shows where capacity is available and where it is growing the fastest. Shows users and groups that are the top consumers of capacity resources.
Section 2: top directories and users for enforcement quotas. At the top of the page, sort section 2: enforcement quotas by: capacity used, growth rate, max capacity used %, or time to full.	Shows directories that are over or running up against quota limits. Shows end users or groups that are over or running up against quota limits.

Many of the elements of this page also appear on the details pages.

To see more details on a cluster, select View more detail. The detail menu includes the following sections:


Page section	Use case
Max physical usage of a folder	See physical size of a folder over time compared to the quota.
Max file system logical usage of a folder	See the logical file system size for a folder over time compared to the quota.
Max application logical usage of a folder	See application use in a folder over time compared to the quota.
Max file count of a folder	See maximum file count of a folder over time compared to the quota.
Capacity growth rate per week across time window	Measures how fast that the data in a folder is growing compared to the total capacity of the folder. For example, if the folder is at 80% capacity, and the growth rate is 1% per week, then the cluster may be estimated to meet its capacity limits in 20 weeks.
File count growth rate across time window	See how fast the number of files in a folder is growing.
Accounting quotas	For accounting quotas, the top 15, 30, or 45 records are shown based on the largest physical, fslogical, or applogical sizes. To find information about a path or directory that is not listed, type in its name in the path box at the top of the screen.
Enforcement quotas	For enforcement quotas, the top 15, 30, or 45 records are shown based on the largest capacity used or growth rate. To find information about a path or directory that is not listed, type in its name in the path box at the top of the screen.

To exit from the detail view and return to the overview, select Quota dashboard.

We do not recommend creating quotas on the /ifs directory.

When there are a large number of quotas, DataIQ collects a full sample list every hour. DataIQ then truncates the data, as follows:
