Sun Storage 7000 Analytics Overview

Description: This blog explores the basics of Analytics - a DTrace based toolkit used with the Sun Storage 7000 line of storage appliances.

These analytics are based on DTrace, but essentially hide the DTrace complexity in a cloak of Ajax-based browser graphics.

Through the GUI, a storage administrator can determine which clients are causing which files on the server to be "hot", or resource use-intensive. Also the administrator can see the latency of each request to the blocks of that file, or how many request of each protocol are being processed, or how many cache hits a file had.
