SOFS Server monitoring

A Scale-Out File Server (SOFS) server is a physical component required to begin building a virtual infrastructure. SOFS servers provide hypervisor-based architecture for controlling and managing resources for the virtual machines that run on it. Virtual machines running on an SOFS server share the server’s resources.

To review data collected about a specific SOFS server or all SOFS servers, make your selection in the Quick-View.

SOFS Servers view

The SOFS Servers view is a tree view. It lists the SOFS servers that exist in your environment and shows their state.

This view appears in the Quick-View on the left when you select the SOFS Servers tile in the Virtual Environment view.

Selecting the All SOFS Servers node displays overall resource utilization for all servers in your integrated system, and the elements that consume the highest amount of system resources in the Summary - All Servers view on the right. Similarly, selecting an SOFS server node shows server-specific metrics in the Server Summary view.

Alarm severity. The state of the most recent alarm raised against the associated server.
All SOFS Servers. A parent node for the server object instances that appear in this view.
Server. The SOFS server name.

Summary - All SOFS Servers view

The Summary - All SOFS Servers view displays overall resource utilization information for a group of SOFS servers and shows the elements that consume the highest amount of system resources.

This view appears in the Quick-View on the left when you select All SOFS Servers in the SOFS Servers view.

This view is made up of the following embedded views:

Table 31. Alarms

Lists the alarms generated against the monitored system.

Alarm Message. An explanation about why the alarm occurred.
Severity. Indicates the alarm severity: Warning, Critical, or Fatal.
Time. The time at which the alarm was generated.

Drill down on:

Severity. Displays the Alarm dialog box, showing additional information about the alarm. For more information about alarms in Foglight, see the Foglight User Help.

Network Transfer Rate. The rate at which the top three network consumers transfer data to or from the network during the selected time range.
Servers. The name of the server that are the top three network consumers.

Drill down on:

Network Transfer Rate. Displays the Top Servers - Network Transfer Rate dialog box.

SOFS Server Summary view

The SOFS Server Summary view shows the overall resource utilization and the amounts of system resource consumption for an SOFS server.

This view appears in the Quick-View on the left when you select an SOFS server in the SOFS Servers view.

Figure 62. Server Summary view

This view is made up of the following embedded views:

Shows the resource consumption for the selected SOFS server broken down into four simple views.

CPU Load. The current percentage of the selected server’s CPU load, used to execute system code and user programs, based on the total CPU capacity.
CPU Utilization, % Used. The percentage of the server’s CPU utilization spent on executing system code and user programs during the selected time period.
CPU Utilization, Baseline. An envelope indicating the expected CPU utilization range based on historical data.
Disk I/O. The current disk I/O rate for the selected server.
Disk Utilization, Baseline. An envelope indicating the expected disk utilization range based on historical data.
Disk Utilization, Transfer Rate. The rate at which the server reads and writes data to the disk during the selected time period.
Memory Usage. The current percentage of the average memory usage by the selected server, based on the total memory capacity.
Memory Utilization, % Used. The percentage of the available memory that the server uses during the selected time period.
Memory Utilization, Baseline. An envelope indicating the expected memory utilization range based on historical data.
Network I/O. The current rate at which the selected server transfers data from and to the network.
Network Utilization, Baseline. An envelope indicating the expected network utilization range based on historical data.
