Amazon FSx for OpenZFS metrics and dimensions

Amazon FSx publishes the metrics described in the following tables in the AWS/FSx namespace in Amazon CloudWatch for all FSx for OpenZFS file systems:

FSx for OpenZFS network I/O metrics

The AWS/FSx namespace includes the following network I/O metrics.

Metric Description
DataReadBytes

The number of bytes for read operations for clients that access the file system.

Unit: Bytes

Valid statistic: Sum

DataWriteBytes

The number of bytes for write operations for clients that access the file system.

Unit: Bytes

Valid statistic: Sum

DataReadOperations

The number of read operations for clients that access the file system.

Unit: Count

Valid statistic: Sum

DataWriteOperations

The number of write operations for clients that access the file system.

Unit: Count

Valid statistic: Sum

ClientConnections

The number of active connections between clients and the file server.

Unit: Count

MetadataOperations

The number of metadata operations for clients that access the file system.

Unit: Count

Valid statistic: Sum

NfsBadCalls

The number of calls rejected by the NFS server remote procedure call (RPC) mechanism.

Unit: Count

Valid statistic: Sum

FSx for OpenZFS file server metrics

The AWS/FSx namespace includes the following file server metrics.

Metric Description
NetworkThroughputUtilization

The network throughput for clients that access the file system, as a percentage of the provisioned limit. For Multi-AZ file systems, this metric includes replication traffic.

Unit: Percent

CPUUtilization

The percentage utilization of your file server’s CPU resources.

Unit: Percent

FileServerDiskThroughputUtilization

The disk throughput between your file server and its storage volumes. Listed as a percentage of the provisioned limit, which is determined by throughput capacity.

Unit: Percent

FileServerDiskThroughputBalance

The percentage of available burst credits for disk throughput between your file server and its storage volumes.

Unit: Percent

FileServerDiskIopsUtilization

The disk IOPS between your file server and storage volumes, as a percentage of the provisioned limit, which is determined by throughput capacity.

Unit: Percent

FileServerDiskIopsBalance

The percentage of available burst credits for disk IOPS between your file server and its storage volumes.

Unit: Percent

MemoryUtilization

The percentage of your file server’s memory resources that are utilized.

Unit: Percent

FileServerCacheHitRatio

The percentage of cache hits. For Single-AZ 1 file systems, this metric reports only the cache hit ratio for the ARC cache.

Unit: Percent

FSx for OpenZFS disk metrics

The AWS/FSx namespace includes the following disk metrics.

Metric Description
DiskReadBytes

The number of bytes for read operations that access storage volumes.

Unit: Bytes

Valid statistic: Sum

DiskWriteBytes

The number of bytes for write operations that access storage volumes.

Unit: Bytes

Valid statistic: Sum

DiskReadOperations

The number of read operations for the file server that accesses storage volumes.

Unit: Count

Valid statistic: Sum

DiskWriteOperations

The number of write operations for the file server that accesses storage volumes.

Unit: Count

Valid statistic: Sum

DiskThroughputBalance

The percentage of available burst credits for disk throughput for the storage volumes.

Unit: Percent

DiskIopsUtilization

The disk IOPS between your file server and storage volumes, as a percentage of the provisioned IOPS limit that has been determined by the storage volumes.

Unit: Percent

FSx for OpenZFS storage capacity metrics

The AWS/FSx namespace includes the following storage capacity metrics.

Metric Description
StorageCapacity

The total storage capacity, equal to the sum of used and available storage capacity.

Unit: Bytes

Valid statistics: Average, Minimum

UsedStorageCapacity

The amount of storage that's used.

Unit: Bytes

Valid statistics: Average, Minimum

CompressionRatio

The ratio of compressed storage usage to uncompressed storage usage.

Valid statistics: Average, Minimum

FSx for OpenZFS dimensions

FSx for OpenZFS provides additional dimensions to further refine the metrics listed in the previous table. FSx for OpenZFS metrics use the FSx namespace and provide metrics at the file system or volume granularity by using the FileSystemId or VolumeId.

Dimension Description

FileSystemId

This dimension filters the metrics that you request to an individual file system.

VolumeId

This dimension filters the metrics that you request to an individual volume within a file system. This dimension must be used in combination with FileSystemId.

CacheType

This dimension filters the metrics that you request by the type of cache used, either ARC for in-memory caching or L2ARC for SSD and NVMe caching. This dimension must be used in combination with FileSystemId.

DataType

This dimension filters the metrics that you requested to a specific type of stored data. Metrics with DataType set to Snapshot report information about the snapshots within the volume. Metrics without a DataType dimension report aggregated information from the volume, which includes any child volumes and snapshots within the volume.

FSx for OpenZFS metrics use the FSx namespace and provide metrics for the dimensions that are listed in the table above.
