Scale-out file system metrics

The following metrics are provided for FSx for ONTAP file systems with two or more high-availability (HA) pairs. For the metrics, a datapoint is emitted for each HA pair and for each aggregate (for storage utilization metrics).

Note

If you have a file system with multiple HA pairs, you can also use the single-HA pair file system metrics and the volume metrics.

Network I/O metrics

All of these metrics take two dimensions, FileSystemId and FileServer.

FileSystemId – Your file system's Amazon resource ID.
FileServer – The name of a file server (or node) in ONTAP (for example, FsxId01234567890abcdef-01). Odd-numbered file servers are preferred file servers (that is, they service traffic unless the file system has failed over to the secondary file server), while even-numbered file servers are secondary file servers (that is, they serve traffic only when their partner is unavailable). Because of this, secondary file servers typically show less utilization than preferred file servers.

Detailed file system metrics

Detailed file system metrics are detailed storage-utilization metrics for each of your storage tiers. Detailed file system metrics have either the FileSystemId, StorageTier, and DataType dimensions, or the FileSystemId, StorageTier, DataType, and Aggregate dimensions.

When the Aggregate dimension is not supplied, the metrics are for your entire file system. The StorageUsed and StorageCapacity metrics have a single data point each minute corresponding to the file system's total consumed storage (per storage tier) and total storage capacity (for the SSD tier). Meanwhile, the StorageCapacityUtilization metric emits one metric each minute for each aggregate.
When the Aggregate dimension is supplied, the metrics are for each aggregate.

The meaning of the dimensions are as follows:

FileSystemId – Your file system's Amazon resource ID.
Aggregate – Your file system's performance tier consists of multiple storage pools called aggregates. There is one aggregate for each HA pair. For example, aggregate aggr1 maps to file server FsxId01234567890abcdef-01 (the active file server) and file server FsxId01234567890abcdef-02 (the secondary file server) in an HA pair.
StorageTier – Indicates the storage tier that the metric measures, with possible values of SSD and StandardCapacityPool.
DataType – Indicates the type of data that the metric measures, with the possible value All.

There is a row for each unique combination of a given metric and dimensional key-value pairs, with a description of what that combination measures.
