Performance reports overview

View information about the activity of the nodes, networks, clients, disks, and IFS cache of a monitored cluster.

Performance reports provide you with information about the performance and capacity of a monitored cluster. You can also view information about CPU usage, available capacity, and recent cluster events.

You can use Performance reports to verify whether a cluster is performing as expected, or identify the cause of a performance issue. For example, you can view Performance reports that display information about network throughput for a range of dates. If you find that throughput is not as high as expected, you can search for a cause of the issue by viewing information about any network throughput errors.

Performance reports can also be useful when you want to monitor cluster capacity. For example, you can create a Performance report that shows the changes in available capacity over the past year. You can create a Performance report schedule to send a weekly report that illustrates the cluster capacity over the past week.
